Pope Francis has asked our parish to support Christians in the Holy Land. Through the Good Friday Collection, you join with Catholics around the world to stand in solidarity with the Church in the Holy Land. When you contribute to the Pontifical Good Friday Collection, you become an instrument of peace in a troubled land. Christians, along with the clergy and religious who serve in the Holy Land deeply appreciate your financial help. Like Simon of Cyrene, you can help carry the cross under very difficult circumstances in the Holy Land.
