PRESENCE

SERVICE

The Franciscans

have been in the Holy Land since 1209, walking in Jesus’ footsteps, caring for the poor, educating young people, providing scholarships, protecting the Holy shrines, conducting pastoral ministries and keeping Christianity alive.

On Good Friday

all Christians are united in a special way to the land that was made holy by God’s plan. The continued existence of our Franciscan programs in the Holy Land depends on the blessing of faithful support that we receive from our brothers and sisters in Christ. This year, more than ever, we ask that you pledge your assistance to our work in the land that Jesus made holy. We Holy Land Franciscans are counting on your help to assist us in providing presence, care and service.
