Last year Australian Catholics donated $1.1 million. 71% of this collection was spent on the poor Christians in the Holy Land: 47% on charitable programs for the poor, 19% on education programs, 5% on pastoral programs. 29% of the collection was spent on restoring the Holy Places, e.g. Bethany, Bethlehem, Jerusalem, Nazareth etc. Many Christians are living in intolerable conditions with scarce housing and constant threat of violence and hatred. The Franciscans have supported Christians in the Holy Land since the time of St Francis, in spite of persecution and martyrdom.
