The annual Peter’s Pence collection takes place this coming weekend (29 & 30 June). It provides Pope Francis with the funds he needs to carry out his charitable works around the world. The Summer Dues has become an important initiative in recent years, helping to return the Common Fund to a healthy position, supporting priests in parishes, and sick and retired priests throughout the Archdiocese. The Summer Dues has played a central role in restoring the priests’ stipend back to the level it was pre-COVID.
It is important that parishioners in all parishes across the Archdiocese are given an opportunity to support priests in this way.
