Peter’s Pence Collection 30 June Peter’s Pence Collection – Sunday 30 June 2024

“All together we are a great supportive force to those who have lost their homeland,
family, work and dignity”  (Pope Francis)

Peter’s Pence is an offering that may be small but is of great symbolic value: it expresses the sense of belonging to the Church, and love and trust in the Holy Father. It is a tangible sign of communion with Him, as Peter’s Successor, and also of attention to the needs of the disadvantaged, for whom the Pope always cares.

With your donation, you support the Pope’s mission, which extends throughout the entire world, from the proclamation of the Gospel to the promotion of integral human development, education, peace, fraternity among peoples and charitable works in aid of people and entire populations, thanks also to the activities of service carried out by the Holy See every day.

By contributing to Peter’s Pence, we can all together support the Pope’s mission to support the numerous charitable works in aid of people and families in difficulty, populations afflicted by natural disasters and wars, or who are in need of humanitarian assistance.  If you are not on Planned Giving, you can make your donation in an envelope marked Peter’s Pence and place in the collection basket.

“Let us pray through the intercession of Mary, the model of humble and joyful evangelization that the Church may become a welcoming home, a mother for all peoples and the source of rebirth for our world” (Pope Francis).
