Saint Stephen's Modern Church, Israel
While we have yet to visit a shrine of Saint Rita of Cascia, we were able to visit another church. This is St. Stephen's Modern Church, which is located at Beit Jamal monastery in Jerusalem.
What was very nice about the Church was that it provides free Bibles and Christian pamphlets in different languages. We were able to get one written in Tagalog.
Do you know that St. Stephen is the first Christian martyr? Such a noble fact to remember him with.
Beit Jamal monastery, aside from the church also contains the first meteorological station, which unfortunately we were not able to see the time when we visited the place. It is still running, and has been in existence since 1919 under the Salesian Monks.
Above are some pictures of the Church of Saint Stephen. Hopefully, I can finally find a Saint Rita of Cascia shrine, if not here in Israel, then maybe the one in the US or if lucky enough, the Italian shrine even.
