Support our mission

Friends of the Order

You do not need to be a Knight or Dame to make a difference for the Christians of the Holy Land.

Every gift changes lives

While full membership requires formal commitment, becoming a Friend of the Order offers individuals, families, foundations and organisations 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. Whether you give once or become a monthly donor, your contribution makes an immediate and lasting impact.

Common questions

What is the difference between Friends of the Order and full membership?

Full membership requires nomination by an existing member, participation in spiritual formation and formal investiture. Friends of the Order can support the 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 across Jerusalem, Cyprus and Jordan.

Is my donation tax-deductible?

Yes. The Order is a registered charitable organisation and you will receive a tax receipt for your donation.

Can I designate my gift for a specific purpose?

Most gifts support the general mission of the Latin Patriarchate, but we can accommodate requests to designate a gift for education, healthcare or seminary formation. Contact us to discuss options.
