Land.
Our parish, once a year on Palm Sunday, is called on
to support Christians in the Holy Land. As a pontifical
collection requested by Pope Francis, the annual Palm
Sunday collection offers a direct link for parishioners
to be witnesses of peace and to help protect the Holy
Places. When you donate on Palm Sunday, you are
supporting Christians in the Holy Land.
