The Pope’s Pastoral Works

This collection provides an opportunity for Catholics to make a financial offering to assist the Holy Father. One-third of the funds collected is for what is traditionally known as Peter’s Pence: donations used by the Pope for his charitable contributions to those most in need. Two-thirds of the collection is to support the Holy Father in administering the Holy See and serving the Universal Church (see Canon 1271). Envelopes for this collection are at the back of the church. Please write your name and your envelope number. Thank you for your cooperation.
