Founded in Immensee, Switzerland, in 1921 by Father Pietro Bondolfi, the Bethlehem Missionaries community is a society of apostolic life, made up of brothers and priests who, following Jesus, wish to commit their whole lives to the service of the Church's universal mission, in poverty, obedience and celibacy.

Initiated by Father Ludovic Nobel, Étoile de Bethléem is an online teaching and research platform on the New Testament and Christianity in general.
