Call it alms for palms.

For as long as Christians have been making pilgrimage, they have known that no one in the Church goes it alone – ever.

Some give by going. Others go by giving.

Every pilgrim who returns palm in hand, knows he has gone hand in hand with those who have supported him by prayers and alms.

Whether from home or highway, everyone can participate in the annual Pilgrimage for Restoration.

Join your prayers to theirs, and ask fellow pilgrims to remember your intentions along the way.

Or offer alms in return for the ‘palms’ in their hands folded for you in prayer.

It’s easy.

Sponsor a needy pilgrim online for just $95.

Or provide fresh water, food, transportation, first-aid, construction of an altar, etc. in whatever amount you can.

You may also donate, going directly to PayPal, by following this link. From there, click on the “Make a Donation” button at the bottom of the page.

(Be sure to include a brief note explaining your request.)

Or mail in this form with a check payable to “NCCL”.

Whether you go by giving, or give by going — thank you!

In the union of prayers,
