This collection keeps Christianity alive in this area made holy by life, suffering, death and resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ. We thank you for your support in the past and ask that you support this important collection again.

March 29th, 2015 Those preceding him as well as those following kept crying out: “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is to come! Hosanna in the highest!” - Mk 11:9-10 Palm Sunday, March 29th, 2015 Palm Sunday commemorates the triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem: it honors him as King and begins the week of His glorification through death and resurrection.
