Peter’s Pence | Collection for the Holy Father

The annual Peter’s Pence Collection unites Catholics around the world in support of the Holy Father and the charitable works of the Church. This collection provides Pope Leo XIV with resources to respond to those suffering from war, natural disasters, poverty and humanitarian crises, while also assisting the ministries of the Holy See that serve the global Church.

Inspired by the call to charity and communion with the successor of Saint Peter, Peter’s Pence offers the faithful a meaningful way to participate in the mission of the universal Church.

Funds raised support:

• Emergency assistance for those affected by war, famine and natural disasters
• Humanitarian relief and charitable outreach throughout the world
• Ministries and dicasteries of the Holy See that assist the Holy Father in serving the Church
• Efforts that promote peace, human dignity, evangelization and care for vulnerable populations

Why Participate?
Peter’s Pence is a visible expression of unity with the Holy Father and the Church throughout the world. Through prayer and financial offerings, Catholics are invited to participate in the Pope’s mission of mercy and service.

Even a small offering becomes a sign of communion with the successor of Saint Peter and a way to care for brothers and sisters in need across the globe.
