The Don Bosco Foundation and the Custody of the Holy Land are joining forces to support the Christian presence in the Holy Land. Help two missions at once: the fieldwork and the review that tells the story.
Franciscans in service to the Christian community
For over 800 years, the Franciscans of the Custody of the Holy Land serve the holy sites and support the Christian presence in the region.
In their 18 schools, the Franciscans take particular care with education and also fund university scholarships and various educational projects in order to empower young people to stay, study, and build their future in their home country.
While education represents over two-thirds of its annual budget, the Custody also provides significant support to the Christian community in the area of housing, making apartments available to people with low socio-economic status. It also has a retirement home for the elderly, as well as community centers that support the community's needs.
In recent years, she has had to diversify her social assistance by increasing the budgets allocated to food and medical aid.
The magazine that tells the story of the Holy Land
When World War I ended, the Franciscans got down to announcing the 5the Gospel, what is the Holy Land in itself.
In 1921, they created a review to raise awareness its rich history and heritage, its people, its human and spiritual stakes.
100 years later, it still exists under the name Holy Land Magazine augmented since 2012 with a news website: www.terresainte.net
This generous, but chronically deficit-ridden, announcement is now in peril. The new needs generated by the two successive crises of Covid and the war are weighing on the Custody's finances to the point that it is struggling to support its communication.
The 2-in-1 aid
With the help of the Don Bosco Foundation, the Custody is committed, thanks to the support you will provide to its educational and social works, to continue its communication efforts.
So, By donating to the works, you also help the magazine and its website to continue the announcement of this land, which still carries a message of salvation.
