Solemnity of St Peter & St Paul

Second Collection 30th June
30th June is a special day of prayer for Pope Francis and there is a second collection called Peters Pence. This appeal, which goes back to Medieval times, supports Pope Francis’ mission from the proclamation of the Gospel to the promotion of integral human development, education and peace.  Peter’s Pence also aims to support a range of charities which bring aid and comfort to the poor, children, families, the elderly, the marginalised, victims of war and natural disasters, refugees and migrants.  Pope Francis said in a message for Peter’s Pence “The hope that we have been given never divides us from others. Instead, it is an extraordinary gift of which we are called to make ourselves ‘channels’, with humility and simplicity, for everyone. So our boastfulness is because we have as Father a God who opens his house to all human beings, beginning with the least and the most distant, so that as his children we may learn to console and support one another.”
