GOOD FRIDAY PONTIFICAL COLLECTION
Every year, each parish in the United States takes up a collection on Good Friday, as designated by the Holy Father. This collection helps support the work of the Franciscans in the Holy Land. The money is used to care for the people and places of the Holy Land. This collection keeps Christianity alive in this area made holy by the life, suffering, death and resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Rice Bowls are available in the back of the church as a Lenten Catholic Relief Services fundraiser.
