Pro Terra Sancta – Newsletter 04/2010

Dear Friends of the Holy Land,

help us supporting one of the most important activities implemented by the Custody of the Holy Land:

The project aims at renovating apartments of the Custody of the Holy Land that are rented to poor Christian families for a symbolic price. Many units need urgent renovation to restore decent and healthy living conditions in order to fix problems and improve the quality of the residences. The main purpose of this plan is to support the presence of Christian families in the land of Jesus.

We therefore propose convents, parishes, companies, institutions and friends of the Holy Land to contribute to the renovation of specific living units by donating 5.000, 10.000 or 20.000 Euros. Supporters‘ names will be listed in the „Donors’ Registry“ pro Terra Sancta.

We would be glad to provide you with any further information you might need. Contact us by email (infoats@custodia.org) or give us a call (+972 2 6271165)!

„It is essential to give firm support and encouragement to those who choose to remain faithful to their homeland in order to prevent it from becoming an archaeological site deprived of ecclesial life. By developing a solid fraternal life, they will find support in their trials. I therefore give my full support to the initiatives you are taking to contribute to the creation of social and financial conditions that help the Christians who remain in their country, and I appeal to the entire Church to wholeheartedly support these efforts.“ Pope Benedictus XVI
