Every year the Catholic Action Associations around the world, especially the young people, provide support to promote the Good Friday Collection, collaborating with everyone at a diocesan and parish level.
We respond to the invitation of Paul VI in Nobis in animo (25 March 1974) ‘it is necessary that Christians all over the world give proof of their generosity, sending to the Church of Jerusalem the charity of their prayers, the warmth of their understanding and the concrete sign of their solidarity’.
Through this initiative, the Church invites Christians in the Holy Land to resist the temptation to emigrate, showing them how the faithful all over the world are conscious of their plight.
The IFCA secretariat has been promoting the Collection since 2014-15 in various countries, in collaboration with the Custody of the Holy Land Land and the Commissariats of the Holy Land present in Italy and on other continents.
