The Holy Month of Ramadan

25 September 2006

Dear Faculty, Staff, Students, Alumni and Friends of Bethlehem University,

As we begin the holy month of Ramadan and look forward to the feast of Eid Al-Fitr, on behalf of the University community, I send my best wishes to all our Muslim faculty, staff, students, alumni and friends. 

I pray that this time be of spiritual benefit for us all: Muslims and Christians alike.  May we all benefit from our inner reflection and devotion to God as we fulfill the mission of Bethlehem University to foster “shared values, moral principles and dedication to serving the common good.”

All of us have before us an opportunity to strengthen our engagement in building up good relations among one another, an opportunity to promote cultural dialogue and to work together for greater justice and enduring peace in our land. 

Let us here at Bethlehem University, together as Christians and Muslims, continue to live together and to strengthen our true fraternity, striving always to do the will of the Merciful God who created humanity to be one family.

Sincerely,

Brother Daniel Casey, FSC
Vice Chancellor
