Greetings from Bethlehem House

The word "Bethlehem" in Hebrew means 'House of Bread.'

Breaking the Bread of Food, Hope, Friendship, Faith and Love is what our mission is all about.

Our Ministries are rooted in the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy, 

(see Matthew 25:35-36),

while grounded in the Christian Sacramental and Mystical Tradition.

As part of the Ministry Outreach with St. Miriam's Church and the Ecumenical Order of Charity, and thanks to generous donations from our benefactors, we have been able to offer emotional, material and spiritual support to many who are hungry & needy in our midst for several years now.

Over the past several months, our ministry has provided assistance with food, medical, housing and other living expenses to folks in our local area who have found themselves struggling during these most difficult and trying times. We have been able to assist families with having groceries delivered to their homes, we helped a family with a mortgage payment, we made it possible for one individual, who had no health insurance, keep an appointment with their medical specialist and we assisted another individual with procuring a phone to keep them connected to their loved ones! During this holiday season, Bethlehem House Ministries was able to warm the homes of several families with turkeys and all the fixings along with Christmas gifts for their children.

Our "It Takes a Village to Raise a Child" Project also provides food, shelter, clothing, medicine, emergency funds, education as well as other services and opportunities to young people in Africa that we have sponsored, "adopted," and have taken under our wings since 2019. 

The work we do also includes, but is not limited to, celebrating Eucharist in people's homes or via Zoom, anointing the sick, blessing homes, officiating at weddings, performing baptisms, providing spiritual guidance and prayerful support, along with breaking the bread of food and fellowship around our table at Bethlehem House.

We so love what we do, and we hope to continue to touch and profoundly impact the lives of our needy brothers and sisters, both locally and abroad, in a positive and significant way for many more years to come. We look to you to help us help them! 

We sincerely thank the generous individuals who from time to time have become members of our "village" supporting our work and mission. Without such support we would not be able to do all that we have done. We continue to be in need of such generosity as we carry on the task of breaking 'bread,' celebrating friendship, embracing gratitude & kindness and sharing the love and mercy of God with ALL!
