Commissariat of the Holy land in Canada
Good Friday Collection
April 22, 2011
in support of the Holy Land
For the year 2011, we remember the first community of Jerusalem who made the first steps in living an evangelical life. It has established the foundation for Christian life from which we still live by today. It is nice to say with the psalmist Jerusalem above all my joys (136,6).
The mission of the Commissariat of the Holy Land is to help the Christian communities of the Holy Land and is made possible with the generosity of all the Catholics in Canada. Each year your support sustains apostolic and social works and the upkeep of the Holy Sites that have been entrusted to the Franciscans for centuries. An important challenge that we face is the revival of the Church and the mission of the formation of future priests.
During the Good Friday Service, your parish in communion with the Church turns itself towards Jerusalem. It commemorates Jesus, his sorrowful passion and his love for us and all humanity.
That is also where we share a common solidarity towards the Holy Sites and the faithful who live there. That is why Benedict XVI holds out his hand to you in order to participate in a mission that concerns the whole Church!
