Next week parishes in the diocese of Savannah will take up the Peter’s Pence Collection, which provides the Holy Father with the funds he needs to carry out his most important charitable works. The proceeds benefit the most disadvantaged: victims of war, oppression, and disasters. Your gift makes you a pilgrim of charity around the globe.
Peter's Pence is the oldest of the Church's "special collections", going all the way back to the 9th century. You can read more about it on the U.S. Bishops' webpage: link
