Giving
SPECIAL COLLECTION this weekend: Holy Land
This weekend’s Special Collection is for the Holy Land. Every year on Good Friday, a collection is taken up in Catholic Churches to support the work of the Franciscans working in the Holy Land. Christians there rely heavily on the help that comes to them from this worldwide collection. This year, since measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 prohibited gatherings in our churches on Good Friday, the traditional Collection for the Holy Land has been postponed to this weekend.
If you donate through Give Central, you can also specify an amount for this cause by selecting this “Event” (fund) or text HolyLand to 312.625.5666.
Thank you for your generosity.
You can also text "SUNDAY" to 312.625.5666
