Peter's Pence Collection
Solemnity of Sts Peter & Paul, Sunday 28th June 2026
Collection of St. Peter’s Pence
let’s help the Pope in His mission
“May the Lord make you increase and abound in love
for one another and for all.” 1 Thess. 3:12
This weekend (27th &28th July), we celebrate the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul.
Each year, around this liturgical feast, the traditional Peter’s Pence collection takes place. This is a concrete way to support the Holy Father in his mission of service to the universal Church.
This collection is more than a financial contribution; it is a visible gesture of communion with the Holy Father and of solidarity with his mission to bring the Gospel throughout the world.
“Let us resolve to bring his love everywhere, never forgetting that each of our sisters and brothers is a dwelling place of God and that his presence is manifested above all in the little ones, in the poor and the suffering.” Pope Leo XIV
We can take part in this mission in two simple ways
- with prayer for the Holy Father and his intentions;
- with an offering to Peter’s Pence for his apostolic mission, charitable initiatives, and humanitarian aid.
There will be a retiring collection after each mass this weekend. Donations can also be made on the Dona contactless machines in the narthex.
Thanks to donations to Peter’s Pence, it has been possible to fund 239 projects in 66 countries. (Source: annual report, June 2025)
Let us walk together in faith and charity, united with the Holy Father and the universal Church.
“Let us walk together humbly and resolutely in his footsteps, firm in faith and open to all in charity.”
Pope Leo XIV
