Few days before Christmas, on 22nd of December 2023, fr. Francesco Patton, Custos of the Holy Land and fr. Peter Vasko, president of the Franciscan Foundation for the Holy Land and fr. George Haddad, director of Terra Santa school in Bethlehem and vice-parish priest visited our home and delivered Christmas presents for our boys.
In the Holy Mass that preceded the event of the presents to our boys, fr. Francesco Patton celebrated and preached about the great mistery of the Incarnation that happened just few meters away from our home, that changed all the history once and forever.
After the Mass, there was a little show that our boys prepared, celebrating the Custos 60th birthday, and of course the moment that our boys waited for weeks, opening the presents and celebrating the mistery of Christmas with their families afterwards.
