Bethlehem University and Foundation

Bethlehem University Foundation is the U.S. registered 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization entrusted with a focus to assist Bethlehem University (in the Holy Land) in achieving its mission and promoting Bethlehem University in the United States.

The EOHSJ has been a longtime supporter of Bethlehem University. Founded in 1973 this Catholic co-educational institution emphasizes excellence in academic programs and the development as committed individuals prepared to assume leading positions in Holy Land society. The Lieutenancy funds scholarships, provides chemistry equipment, and assistance to special needs students. Seeking to increase access to higher education in the Holy Land, the Knights and Dames of the Tucson Area developed the H.E. Most Reverend Sir Gerald F. Kicanas, EOHSJ Scholarship Endowment to honor Bishop Kicanas, the former Bishop of Tucson. It reflects his great compassion for all in need and desire for all young people to have a chance to succeed. The University seeks to develop students who become community leaders in the Holy Land and have productive careers.
