Fr. Michael Patella and the seminarians participating in the School of Theology and Seminary’s Holy Land Program had the opportunity to meet Palestinian students and officials at Bethlehem University during their pilgrimage study tour on May 24. The students spoke about their experiences living in the occupied West Bank, their hopes and ambitions for the future, and their dedication to bringing justice and peace to the land. Our group in turn felt honored that, by their visit, they were able to show support for Bethlehem University’s mission.
Travelling with the seminarians and the rector, Fr. Michael, were former Saint John’s president, Dr. Gene McAllister and Sanford McAllister.
