Domus Galilaeae

Domus Galilaeae or House of Galilee (Hebrew: בית הגליל), located on the peak of Mount of Beatitudes, above and north of Capernaum and the Sea of Galilee, is a Christian meeting place used for seminars and conventions, run by the Neocatechumenal Way.

On his pilgrimage to Israel in 2000, Pope John Paul II visited Domus Galilaeae and said he hoped it would become a place for interreligious dialogue.

[1] Domus Galilaeae employs about 150 people full-time, including labourers, technicians, and volunteers.

[2] The building was constructed in a short period of time, with the first stone being laid in January 1999 and the opening of the site taking place in 2000.

It was inaugurated by the Pope John Paul II in his Millennium visit to the Holy Land.
