Every year on Good Friday, a collection is taken up in Catholic Churches to support the work of the Franciscans working in the Holy Land. Christians there rely heavily on the help that comes to them from this worldwide collection. Your donation helps maintain the holiest of Christian shrines and provides charitable activities for the poorest of people in that area. Holy Land Franciscans also provide education to children, run parishes, and provide liturgical, ecumenical and communications programs.
The need is especially great this year with the continuing Israel-Hamas war. Please be as generous as you can.
Let us all pray fervently for peace in the Holy Land!
