RE: EMERGENCY RELIEF FOR THE HOLY LAND
Special Collection March 2nd -3rd and March 9th and 10th Dear Pastors, Administrators, Parish Life Directors, ADLA All Parish Business Managers, ACC
Employees and Religious Education Directors, The recent events in Gaza and Israel have brought extreme devastation to our brothers and sisters of this region as they continue to face ongoing uncertainties since last October. While hundreds of thousands have had to flee their homes into nearby countries, thousands of lives have been lost and thousands more injured, we must come together to offer our prayers and support as they face such
devastating loss and tragedy. In solidarity with our suffering brothers and sisters, Archbishop Gomez has asked all parishes to consider conducting a non-mandatory special collection during the weekends of March 2-3 and March
9-10, 2024. Please note that this is not the Holy Land Collection to be held on March 29t. This is for the current
emergency crisis in the Holy Land, account #200475. All checks should be made payable to The Society for the Propagation of the Faith- memo: Emergency Relief for the Holy Land, #200475. Donations may be mailed to Society for the Propagation of the
Faith, 3424 Wilshire Blvd- 3rd Floor, Los Angeles CA 90010. If anyone wishes to make an online donation, they may do so at https://missionsla.org/product/donate and specify Emergency Relief for the Holy Land in the special instructions box. Attached is the donation page QR code you may wish to use for your bulletin in both JPG and PNG formats. For any questions or concerns, please contact the Mission Office at (213) 637-7223 or missionoffice@la-
archdiocese.org.
Thank you for your support and prayers.
