Infrastructures of the Latin Patriarchate
The late Patriarch Alberto Gori blessed the foundation stone of the Church of Our Lady of the Annunciation in Jabal Al-Weibdeh in 1961. It was consecrated in 1963 and built by the generous donation of the late Mr. Wasef Bisharat, a Knight of the Holy Sepulcher in Jordan. The church later became the headquarters of the Patriarchal Vicar in Jordan from 1965 to 1991 before moving to Sweifieh. The parish is very active with its councils, youth movements, fraternities, scouts and choir. Also located in the parish is the office of Caritas Jordan.
