Pro Terra Sancta

Pro Terra Sancta is a network that promotes and implements projects for the conservation and enhancement of the cultural and natural heritage, to support local communities and help in humanitarian emergencies.

The Holy Land is the center of the world, a crossroadof peoples, religionand cultures. It is the land where all peoples have their roots. Participating in the work pro Terra Sancta means loving the Holy Land in places and people, it means living a lasting bond with the Holy Places and the ancient Christian communities.

Pro Terra Sancta operates in the Middle East, mainly where the Franciscan friars of the Custody of the Holy Land are present, in the places at the origin of the Christian faith and alongside local communities.

Our projects are carried out in collaboration with the associations, economic, cultural and social realities of local civil societies and offer training and growth opportunities to the most vulnerable groups.
