Faith in Action: Halifax Parishes Raise £410 for the Holy Land

In July 2025, the community spirit of Halifax shone brightly as the ladies of St Mary’s and St Alban’s Catholic Parishescame together for a wonderful cause. Through a spectacular parish bake sale, they raised an impressive £410 in support of the Bethlehem Care and Hospice Trust.

A Sweet Success

Renowned locally for their baking excellence, the parish bakers truly outdid themselves. Joined by a wave of generous donations of pastries and cakes, they created an absolutely irresistible spread. The local community responded with immediate enthusiasm, and it wasn’t long before every last crumb was sold!

Making a Vital Difference

Every penny raised from this joyful collaboration goes directly toward supporting our mission. As the only licensed palliative care provider in the Holy Land (Palestine), the Bethlehem Care and Hospice Trust relies on incredible community acts like this to keep our doors open. This £410 contribution will directly help us provide:

  • Critical medical and palliative care.
  • Comfort and dignity to patients in the final stages of life.
  • Essential pain management and emotional support for families.

Thank You! We want to extend our deepest, most heartfelt thanks to everyone who baked, donated, supported, and purchased. This was a beautiful, living example of faith in action, and we are profoundly grateful for your solidarity.
