As Christians around the world prepare for Good Friday, the Australian Church is once again being called upon to show solidarity with our brothers and sisters in the Holy Lands—those who live in the regions of Jesus’ birth, ministry, death and resurrection, and who today face immense hardship. The Pontifical Good Friday Collection, taken up each year in parishes around the world, provides critical support for the sacred sites of Christianity and the small but vital Christian communities in Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and beyond.
