This weekend at Holy Mass: Peter’s Pence Collection

As faithful disciples and imitators of Christ, you are urged to go against the current, choosing the evangelical option of serving the brethren…above all, because you are impelled by the unceasing power of divine charity." - Pope John Paul II (2001)

The Peter’s Pence Collection is taken up worldwide each year to support the most disadvantaged including victims of war, oppression, natural disaster and disease. This annual Collection gives the Holy Father the means to provide emergency assistance to those in need. It likewise provides the faithful with a tangible opportunity to not only empower the weak, defenseless, and voiceless, but also sustain those who suffer.

The faithful may choose to submit their contributions electronically by visiting www.peterspence.va, by means of the regular offertory envelopes to the parish during Mass or by sending contributions directly to the Diocese of Providence. Checks should be made payable to the "Diocesan Service Corporation" and be clearly marked “Peter’s Pence Collection” on the notation line. The mailing address is:
