Mission Statement
For more than 900 years it has been the special challenge and role of the Order to support and assist the Christian community in the Holy Land. In the beginning, this role consisted of maintenance of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the provision of protection to Christian pilgrims as they came to the Holy Places. Since Blessed Pius IX reconstituted the Order in 1847, the goal of the Order has been to support the Christian presence in the Holy Land through support of the living Christian communities and as a witness to Christian values in that region. The Holy Land encompasses the territory designated as the "Promised Land" in Sacred Scriptures and especially associated with the life and teaching of Jesus. The term, ”Holy Land,” as perceived by the Order today, generally includes the entire area under the spiritual jurisdiction of the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem. In this context the term includes the State of Israel, the remainder of historic Palestine, whether under the control of Israel or the Palestinian Authority, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, and Cyprus. The Holy Land has also historically included parts of Lebanon. While the charity of the Order extends to all those in the Holy Land in need, regardless of their beliefs or religious creeds, special attention has been paid to support the Christian community.
