According to American law, it is legal to donate tax deductable money from the United States of America to St. George Melkite Greek Catholic Church via Holy Cross Melkite Greek Catholic Church . American money can be transferred to the St. George Melkite Greek Church bank account. American banks must obey American laws when they transfer money from an American bank account to the St. George Church bank account. All American money, which is transferred to banks within the Palestine National Authority, is transferred via an American government approved transfer bank. This bank checks if the person receiving the money has any terrorist connections. No bank transfer to Abouna Firas Boutros Khoury Diab has been stopped. Additionally, the money transferred to St. George Church can be an American tax-deductible donation. Rev. Father James Babcock, the Pastor of Holy Cross Melkite Greek Catholic Church, collects money for the "Olive Oil Soap Bar Program" for St. George Melkite Greek Church in Zababdeh, Palestine National Authority. All this money is placed in the "Olive Oil Soap Bar Program" fund. This money is US tax deductible because the donation check is made out to a Catholic Church located in the United States of America.
Holy Cross Melkite Catholic Church contact information Abouna James Babcock, Pastor Thank you. 19.9 kilos is the highest weight for a reasonable air shipment fee. (At 20 kilos, the shipping cost increases.) About 200 bars of soap is the highest number of bars of soap that will fit into a box weighting 19.9 kilos. I said about 200 bars of soap because scales vary and the weight of the packaging (box, tape, string, label etc.) is included in the 20 kilos. Sometimes, 197, 198 or 199 bars of soap reach the weight limit, 19.9 kilos. The "Suggested Donation" covers the cost of the materials to make the soap, the labor, and the air shipment; plus a “small” profit. The word is “small”. |
