Peter's Pence Collection
This weekend, June 25-26, is the Peter’s Pence Collection. Each year, the annual Peter’s Pence Collection, in support of the works of the Holy Father, is held in parishes across the country. The proceeds from this collection fund emergency relief assistance to those throughout the world who suffer from war, oppression and natural disasters.
Through works of charity, Catholics provide a powerful witness of love and deeds to empower the weak, the defenseless and the voiceless, and to sustain those who suffer.
