Holy Family Church, Ramallah

Holy Family Church[1] (Arabic: كنيسة العائلة المقدسة) is a Catholic Church located in Ramallah,[2][3] in the West Bank, in the State of Palestine.

Mass was celebrated in a house in the Hatha neighborhood.

The Latin Patriarch, Archbishop Valerga, sought permission to build a church, but permission was granted only forty years later.

[citation needed] The construction of the church began in 1913 with the permission of the Ottoman authorities.

[citation needed] By 1981, the number of Catholics of Latin rite in Ramallah had risen to 1,100 parishioners.
