Introduction

 

Mr. Victor Baboun,
Dean of Catholic Action

The Catholic Action is an NGO, supervised by the Latin Parish Priest, run by a board of directors from those citizens of Bethlehem who are willing to work on a voluntary basis to achieve the goals of the Catholic Action through social, cultural, recreational, sportif, charitable and apostolic activities directed towards the welfare of the Bethlehem Community. Our resources depend on the income of our activities and on some donations from other local or international institutions and individuals.

Each board of directors serve for two years, renewable depending on the effort they exert towards building a better society for Bethlehem.

Our sport activities extend more than the boundaries of Palestine; our teams visited many Arab countries and achieved good results. We were invited by some European countries but our financial status did not permit us to accept their invitations.

We would like to keep close links with international NGOs to exchange ideas and expertise.
