Holy Family Church, Ramallah, Catholic parish church in Ramallah, Palestine

Holy Family Church is a Latin Catholic parish church in Ramallah, West Bank, Palestine. The present building was begun in 1913 under Ottoman authority, and the complex also holds a rectory, a convent for the Rosary Sisters and a school that is now coeducational.

Latin-rite Catholics settled in Ramallah after the Sisters of St. Joseph and the Rosary Sisters opened schools there in the 1860s and 1870s. Mass was first celebrated by Pierre Cotta in a house in the Hatha neighbourhood, and the Latin Patriarch Valerga sought permission to build a church, granted only forty years later. Construction of the present church began in 1913 under the Ottoman authorities, with a rectory, a convent and a school. Catholics numbered 150 in 1870, 242 in 1902 and 1,100 by 1981.

The parish takes its name from the Holy Family, and its Arabic name, Kanisat al-A'ila al-Muqaddasa, is used by local Christians. The Rosary Sisters, who arrived with the Sisters of St. Joseph in the 1860s, still run a convent beside the church, and the adjoining school is now coeducational.

The building is open during worship times and visitors can attend services and community events. It helps to check opening hours beforehand and wear respectful clothing when visiting.

Construction of the current building only began after extended negotiations with authorities had taken place. This delay reflects the complicated circumstances under which religious structures were built during that era.
