Knights and Dames of the Order:

You are to be commended for your generosity in support of the Holy Land Pandemic Relief effort launched this past spring! I am delighted to announce that $53,000 was raised through donations made by individuals and priories.

These funds, badly needed as our fellow Christians in the Holy Land suffer economic hardship during the pandemic, will be distributed to the following organizations with which we have existing relationships: The Episcopal Church of Jerusalem and the Middle East, The Orthodox School for Girls in Bethany, Augusta Victoria Hospital (Jerusalem), The Franciscan Custos via The Franciscan Foundation of the Holy Land, The Foundation for Relief and Reconciliation in the Middle East, and the Franciscan Family Counseling Center in Bethlehem.

Thank you for your extraordinary response to this appeal during a time when we are all adapting and adjusting to changing times and circumstances in our own lives. Your generosity truly reflects that the Glory of God is at work sustaining the Kingdom.

In His Name and to His Service
