To the Ontario State Deputy, Bro Marcel and the Christian Refugee Relief Director, Bro Hikmat, and all the sponsors, Councils, the Knights of Columbus members and their Ladies.
The Melkite Catholic Patriarchate School, Shepherds' Fields would like to thank the Jerusalem Students scholarship sponsors for their generous donations that has helped our Christian students greatly over the years. Your donations have allowed our Christian students to keep getting the best education possible in a Christian school in the Holy Land. It has also helped in reducing the financial burdens on their families by covering part of their tuition fees. It also helped to reduce the budget deficit of the school. So far 48 students have been sponsored until graduation and all are pursuing higher education in the universities of the area.
The scholarship sponsors are touching lives in the Holy Land. Each of these sponsors whose student graduated will receive a Certificate of Appreciation from the Melkite Catholic Archbishop of Jerusalem.
So during The Holy Week talk about Jerusalem Students to your members, friends and consider sponsoring the scholarship of a student. It is as little as C$ 21 per month (C$ 260 annual) to share a student. Your generous gesture of providing the gift of education will lay the foundation for successful Christian families that will grow to populate The Holy Land thus preserving the Christian presence where our Lord Jesus Christ walked and preached. Many more students still need your help. For more information call the Christian Refugee Relief Director Brother Hikmat Dandan because we all love The Holy Land 416-893 8060. email: [email protected] or visit the very friendly websites: www.jerusalemstudents.org or www.christianrefugeerelief.org
Happy Easter. Christos Anesti, Christ is risen, Alithos Anesti, Truly He is Risen.
