Peace & Mercy Crusade

The pandemic, followed by the war in Gaza, has caused significant economic hardship. In response, we are launching a special campaign called the “Peace & Mercy Crusade” to raise funds. This campaign aims to provide financial assistance to Christians affected by this crisis.

Educational challenges have arisen. Without work, families need scholarships to continue their children’s education. The Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem (LPJ) employs over 1,700 teachers, making it one of the biggest employers in the region. It is vital to keep these teachers on the payroll. The LPJ schools also need repairs and face threats of closure by local governments. The lack of funding for repairs and upgrades to the schools has led to a decline in enrollment as parents seek a better standard of education for their children. Though there has been a very limited number of upgrades to some classrooms, the condition of the schools has reached a point that, even with the return to the previous funding levels, it is impossible to bring the schools to the standards needed for quality education without your help.
