ANNUAL GOOD FRIDAY COLLECTION
​
The annual collection was first taken at Pope Paul VI’s request 50 years ago. It is the only yearly request asked by the Holy See of dioceses 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.
For the sake of our brothers and sisters enduring hardships, please give generously during your parish’s Good Friday celebrations on March 29th. If you are unable to attend the service, it is possible to contribute by interact etransfer to:
terresainte@bellnet.ca or online at:
commissariat.ca – receipts will be issued.
On behalf of the Franciscan Custody of the Holy Land, to whom the Holy See has entrusted this ministry for nearly 700 years, I sincerely thank you for your support.
Fr. Robert Mokry, OFM
Commissary of the Holy Land in Canada
