Pontifical Good Friday Collection 2025

Pope Francis has asked parishes in the Diocese of Sacramento to support the Pontifical Good Friday Collection, which helps Christians in the Holy Land. It will be taken up in parishes on Good Friday, April 18.

The Good Friday collection helps preserve the sacred shrines, and helps the Church minister in parishes, provide Catholic schools and other religious education. The wars, unrest and instability have been especially hard on Christians in the Holy Land. In these times of crisis, the Pontifical Good Friday Collection provides humanitarian aid to refugees.
