Support Our Mission
Friends of the Order
Supporting Christians in the Holy Land
You don’t need to be a Knight or Dame to make a difference. As a Friend of the Order, you join a global community sustaining Christian life in Jerusalem and the lands where our faith was born.
Every Gift
Changes Lives
The Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem is a lay institution under the protection of the Holy See, dedicated to preserving Christian presence in the Holy Land.
While full membership requires formal commitment, becoming a Friend of the Order offers individuals, families, foundations, and organizations a meaningful way to support this ancient mission.
Your generosity provides hope to Christians facing hardship — sustaining schools, hospitals, parishes, and humanitarian aid across Jerusalem, Cyprus, and Jordan.

Your support sustains the living Christian presence in Bethlehem, Nazareth, and Jerusalem — ensuring future generations can walk where Christ walked and encounter the roots of our faith.
The Latin Patriarchate depends on the generosity of supporters like you. Whether you give once or become a monthly donor, your contribution makes an immediate and lasting impact.
"I may never make a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, but knowing my monthly gift keeps Christian schools open there brings me such joy. It's my way of serving the Church in the Holy Land."

Common Questions
What's the difference between Friends of the Order and full membership?
Full membership in the Order requires nomination by an existing member, participation in spiritual formation, and formal investiture. Friends of the Order can support our mission immediately through charitable giving, without the formal commitment required of Knights and Dames.
Where does my donation go?
Your contributions go directly to the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem, funding Catholic schools, universities, hospitals, parishes, seminaries, and humanitarian aid programs across Jerusalem, Cyprus, and Jordan.
Is my donation tax-deductible?
Yes. The Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem is a registered charitable organization. You will receive a tax receipt for your donation.
Can I designate my gift for a specific purpose?
While most gifts support the general mission of the Latin Patriarchate, we can accommodate requests to designate your gift for specific programs like education, healthcare, or seminary formation. Contact us directly to discuss options.
