Each year we call on you for prayers, support, and encouragement for the Holy Father’s Good Friday Collection. Because of your leadership, we can support the Christian community in the Holy Land and welcome pilgrims who journey there. This year, we will need your help again.
The annual Pontifical Good Friday Collection is mandated by the Holy Father to be taken up in every Catholic parish. The Collection sustains Christianity in the Holy Land. With your support, the Franciscans and others minister in parishes, provide formation and education, build homes and feed the hungry. The sacred shrines in the Holy Land are maintained so pilgrims can walk in the footsteps of Jesus. And in these times of war and instability, we provide humanitarian aid.
The Pontifical Good Friday Collection adds to the “universal” dimension of our faith. Those who contribute stand in solidarity, as instruments of peace, with the Church in the Holy Land.
Holy Land Christians, along with all of the clergy and religious who serve there, deeply appreciate your help. For more information about the works of the Franciscan friars in the Holy Land, visit the website at
