Members of the EOHSJ Southwestern Lieutenancy reconnected over Zoom with Bethlehem University students they met while on a Holy Land pilgrimage in February.

Bethlehem University was honored to reconnect with members of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem – USA Southwestern Lieutenancy in a meaningful gathering rooted in friendship and shared mission.

Student ambassadors shared heartfelt reflections on life in the Holy Land today, offering an honest glimpse into their realities, resilience, and enduring hope. The encounter created a space of genuine listening, strengthening ties and reaffirming the power of global solidarity.

Such moments reflect Bethlehem University’s mission to remain a place of hope, education, and connection, where relationships built on faith and shared values continue to inspire and uplift.
