Vatican unveils new website for Pope's collection:
Peter's Pence
(Vatican Radio) The Vatican Secretariat of State has
unveiled a new website dedicated to the Pope’s charitable collection known as
“Peter’s Pence”.
The site went online on 21 November at www.peterspence.va.
Currently available in English, Italian, and Spanish, a press statement said it
would soon be translated into other languages.
Containing reflections from Pope Francis, the website offers
the faithful another way to contribute to Peter’s Pence, which is an annual
collection held throughout the Catholic world on the Solemnity of Saints Peter
and Paul.
The funds raised for Peter’s Pence go to the Holy Father,
who distributes them for the necessities of the universal Church and as charity
to those most in need.
Faithful throughout the world will now have the opportunity
to “reflect on the significance of their acts and offer, also online, their
concrete support for the works of mercy, Christian charity, peace, and aid to
the Holy See”, the press statement reads.
“Created by desire of the Holy See, the site is the fruit of
an important synergy between the Governorate of the Vatican City State, the
Secretariat for Communications, and the Institute for the Works of Religion”
(i.e. the Vatican Bank).
