Good Friday Collection

Each year on Good Friday, parishioners are asked to assist Christians in the Holy Land. Given the turmoil in the region, many Christians in that area depend on our support. Franciscans and others in the Holy Land provide housing, food and religious education as well as maintain the important Holy Land Shrines. Please give generously to the Good Friday Collection.
