Easter 2026 Appeal

Easter 2026 Appeal

Supporting the Diocese of Jerusalem through Alongside Hope

This Easter, we are inviting the parish to support the Gaza and West Bank Emergency Appeal from Alongside Hope, one of our parish partners and the Anglican Church of Canada’s agency for relief and development.

The appeal serves the Anglican Diocese of Jerusalem: our own sisters and brothers, living and ministering in the very lands where Jesus lived, died, and rose. As war engulfs the wider Middle East, Anglican hospitals there continue to heal. Anglican schools continue to teach. Anglican communities continue to hold the line for peace. Not because the violence has stopped, but because the resurrection says that life does not wait for permission.

Please donate through St. Laurence so we can track our collective effort and share the difference we make together.
Mark your envelope or e-transfer “Alongside Hope, Gaza.”
E-transfers may be sent to: office@saintlaurence.ca

For more information about the appeal and the work of the Anglican Diocese of Jerusalem. please speak with a member of the clergy or visit the parish office.
