On Good Friday, our parish will take up the annual Good Friday Collection for the Holy Land.  The daily news reminds us of the violence and instability plaquing the Middle East, but we rarely hear of the shrinking Christian community there, a community that struggles to remain in the land of Christ's birth, death and resurrection.  Please help support our brothers and sisters in the Holy Land by giving to the Good Friday Collection.  This Pontifical Collection allows the Franciscans and others to continue caring for Christianity's holiest sites and for God's people in the Holy Land.  PLEASE BE GENEROUS IN YOUR SUPPORT.   Click here for more info
