Holy Land Gifts
-
October 3, 2026 - October 4, 2026Recently the world saw the story unfold about the struggles of the Christians in Gaza and the Holy Land for the past few years, and unfortunately this struggle hasn’t reached an end yet. The city of Bethlehem is surrounded with checkpoints, gates, and concrete barriers that limit day-to-day tasks, including going to church, school, and work. The Gaza war halted tourism to the Holy Land, all souvenir shops and hotels are now closed. This has resulted in a 70% unemployment rate among the carvers. The Catholics of the Holy Land ask for the support of your prayers and the purchase of these handcrafted artworks that can make unique sacramental gifts. Proceeds from sales generate much-needed employment opportunities and monetary funds for 600 Catholic families in Bethlehem. Holy Land Gifts will be here before and after our masses on Oct. 3-4. Cards, cash, and Apple Pay will be accepted. Please consider these gifts for your family, friends, and yourself and be as generous as God is to you.
