appeal for supporting our schools

Excellencies, Knights, Dames and Patrons of the Canada-Atlantic Lieutenancy,

North American lieutenancies have proposed providing support for essential renovations to Catholic schools in the Holy Land – in Jordan, Palestine, and Israel. At present, many of the schools are in urgent need of renovation, and we see this as an opportunity – accelerated by the current crises in the Holy Land – to support children, their teachers, and communities in a concrete way that will contribute towards a future with peace for future generations of the Holy Land.  

The target is $8 million (US) dollars, or the equivalent of $16,000 per classroom to be renovated/ reconstructed. This is an appeal for funds over and above our annual membership oblation/donation to the Order. 

As a small Lieutenancy, our resources are limited. Nevertheless, we have decided to fund at least one classroom as an effort to address in a concrete way the needs of the schools in the Holy Land. We have already raised $4,000, and we hope to raise at least the full amount for one classroom – i.e., an additional $12,000 – within the next 2 months - by January 28, 2024. If you wish a tax receipt for this year, however, please send your contribution by December 31. 

Donation in any amount would be gratefully welcomed. Please, then, strongly consider providing a donation for the “Ensuring the Futures” fund. Of course, tax receipts will be provided. Please send your donation to Sir Michel Comeau, Treasurer, EOHSJ Atlantic, 851 Tower Road, Halifax, NS, B3H 2Y1 [email protected]

The children and teachers in our schools in the Holy Land need our support, and they will be the leaders and part of the Christian presence in the Holy Land for future generations. 

Thank you for your prayers, your ongoing support and for helping to get the news out.

In Christ, 

Will Sweet
