Representatives from Bethlehem Christian Families / The Shepherd and the Lost Sheep will be with us on July 5 & 6 after all three Masses, to ask for your help and blessing for the native people of the Holy Land in Bethlehem. These families, sixty years ago, made up 18% of the population. Due to recent events in the Middle East, it has caused these families to face devastating economical strain, and caused the population to decrease to less than 1% in the Holy Land. These families have relied on the income from their religious hand-carved olive wood artifacts from tourists, so they have come to the USA to support these families by bringing their artifacts here to sell. All proceeds from sales will be sent back to the families of the Holy Land so that they may be able to keep their homes and provide for their families. The last few years were very tough for the Christian families, and this is the only source of income.  You can also find them online at https://theshepherdandthelostsheep.net
