Infrastructures of the Latin Patriarchate

The Latin parish has about 150 families, a significant number that requires more infrastructure to support the healthy development of activities for everyone. There are several youth groups that include altar servers, a branch of Caritas, and a school run by the Rosary Sisters. Parish committees meet and larger gatherings bring together the entire community that required more spacious rooms for these occasions.
