Pro Terra Sancta Collection, Friday, 03-Apr-26

Following a request from the Holy See, Archbishop Farrell has this year again asked that we take up a collection on Good Friday for the Holy Land, Pro Terra Sancta. This collection takes place in dioceses throughout the world. We are invited to pray and to collect funds for the Catholic community in the Holy Land and for the maintenance of the Holy Places there. The Archbishop asks each parish to decide how it can best facilitate this collection on Good Friday – perhaps at the church door after the ceremonies. Cheques for the amount collected in your parish should be made out to the Diocese of Dublin Charities account and sent to the Finance Secretariat, which will transfer the proceeds of the collection to the Nuncio. See below a letter from Fr Francesco Ielpo OFM, Custos of the Holy Land
