Pontifical Collection for the church in the Holy Land on Good Friday
The Annual Good Friday Collection was first taken at Pope Paul VI’s request fifty years ago. It is the only yearly request asked by the Hole See of diocese and parishioners throughout the world to assist the Church in the Holy Land. The monies collected support its pastoral, educational, and social works and help to maintain the Holy Places so important for the faith of Christians everywhere.
Please give generously during the Good Friday liturgy to support this Pontifical collection.
