Pontifical Good Friday Collection

Pope Francis has asked our parish to support

the Pontifical Good Friday Collection which helps

Christians in the Holy Land. Your support helps the

church minister in parishes, provide Catholic Schools

and offer religious education. The Pontifical Good

Friday Collection also helps to preserve the sacred

shrines.

The wars, unrest and instability have been es-

pecially hard on Christians. In these times of crisis,

the Pontifical Good Friday Collection provides hu-

manitarian aid to refugees.

When you contribute to this collection, you

become an instrument of peace and join with Catho-

lics around the world in solidarity with the Church in

the Holy Land.

Please be generous!
