During Holy Week, the Gospel readings come to life in a special way as we gather to celebrate the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. The readings remind us of our special connection to the land where this great story unfolded.
Supporting the church in the Holy Land is a historic mission. Since the time of St. Paul, Christians worldwide have understood the responsibility to support the land where Jesus walked (cf. 2 Cor. 8-9). It has never been easy to be a Christian in the Holy Land. In these challenging times in the Middle East, Christians are experiencing unique hardships. We have an opportunity to help them through the Pontifical Good Friday Collection.
Pope Francis has asked our parish to support the Pontifical Good Friday Collection, which helps the Christians in the Holy Land, where they are now less than 2% of the population. Through this collection, you stand in solidarity with the Church in the Holy Land as a witness of peace, supporting Catholics there in parishes and schools, preserving sacred shrines of Christianity, including in Jerusalem, Nazareth, and Bethlehem, to name only a few, and in caring for refugees in the Holy Land. Please be generous!
Thank you for your support of the Holy Land through our Good Friday Collection. Your payment has been completed.
