Good Friday collection
Helping Christians in the Holy Land In this season of almsgiving, why not consider helping the Christians in the Holy Land by donating to the Good Friday Collection?
Through our generosity last year, Catholics across our country helped make an incredible difference in many lives by helping to create more than 1,500 jobs and rehabilitate over 100 homes for Christian families in the Holy Land.
This year, as war continues in the many countries that make up the Holy Land, your help is needed more than ever! Will you help make a difference again this year with your donation to the Good Friday Collection?
In our Parish, we will take up collection at all Ceremonies on Good Friday.
