HANDICRAFT HOLY LAND CHRISTIANS

Holy Land Christian families are visiting the parish on April 25^th and 26^th.

For centuries, Christians in the Holy Land have carried on the sacred tradition of hand-carving olive wood into meaningful works of art. Every statue, cross, or rosary they produce is more than a souvenir; it is a living testimony of their faith, their heritage, and their commitment to preserving a Christian presence in the birthplace of Christianity. Today, these Christian families face growing economic challenges, political instability, and shrinking communities. Their handcrafted olive-wood gifts are one of the few reliable sources of income keeping their traditions—and their families—alive. By purchasing these items, you are not simply buying a beautiful piece of art; you are directly supporting the Christians of the Holy Land, helping them remain in their ancestral homeland, and ensuring their timeless craftsmanship continues for generations.

Your support truly makes a difference.
