Pontifical Good Friday Collection for the Holy Land
April 18, 2025
The Franciscan friars have served the people and sacred Christian shrines of the Holy Land for 800 years, since the Holy Land Province – now the Custody of the Holy Land – was established in 1217. St. Francis of Assisi himself visited the region in 1219. The Franciscan Friars’ work in the Holy Land is vital. As Pope Francis says, “We will not resign ourselves to imagining a Middle East without Christians.” We preserve the holy places and make it possible for Christians to remain in the land of Jesus.
