Peter’s Pence

Collection of St. Peter’s Pence: a gesture to support the Pope in His mission

On June 29 – which this year falls on the last Sunday of June – the Church celebrates the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul, and on this occasion, 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.

Peter’s Pence is a gesture of communion and participation in the Pope’s mission to proclaim the Gospel, promote peace, and spread Christian charity.

To support this initiative, the Secretariat for the Economy and the Dicastery for Communication of the Holy See have prepared informational and multimedia materials to illustrate its significance.

As every year, every offering – large or small – will support the Holy Father in his ministry and in his charitable activities in response to emergencies and needs around the world.
