The Annual Special Kiimore Diocesan Collection to support Christians in the Holy Land will be taken up after Communion in all 3 churches this weekend, Saturday 30th & Sunday 31st August 2014. Christians in the Holy Land need our support. They comprised 40% of the population of the Holy Land less than 50 years ago and now make up just about 1.4%. The Christian population is vita! in preserving the Heritage and Patrimony of the Holy Land and the Holv Places. The continuing conflict has badly affected all local Christians who are ethnically Arab and so are treated as hostile. The increasing influence of many aspects of militant Islam has also made life more difficult, as has the decline of tourism to places like Bethlehem because of the on-going conflict and the separation wall. Your contribution will help in many important ways, including the upkeep of Churches and the Parish Centres in Nazareth, Bethlehem & Jerusalem, schools in Bethlehem and homes for the elderly in Nazareth. [B] Church Gate Collections: All those taking up Approved Church Gate Collections are asked to do so only after Mass. This applies in all 3 church areas. It is a long standing rule and collectors are asked to respect it. Mass goers are hit for every collection. They at least deserve a break on their way into church! PC I Getting Married in 2015?
