Pope Leo has asked our parish to support the Pontifical Good Friday Collection, on April 3rd, which helps Christians in the Holy Land, where they are now less than 2% of the population. Your support is essential to help the Church minister in parish-es, provide Catholic schools and offer religious education. The Pontifical Good Friday Collection also helps to preserve the sacred shrines of Christianity, including Jerusalem, Nazareth, and Bethlehem, to name a few. When you contribute to the Pontifical Good Friday Collection, you join with Catholics around the world in solidarity with the Church in the Holy Land. Please be generous.
