Welcome to Mass today Feast of SS Peter and Paul. The ‘Peter’s Pence collection’ is for the upkeep of the Holy See (Admin of the Vatican, HQ of the Catholic Church.) Remember that the Pope is the successor of Saint Peter. From today for one year we are asked by the Church to make it a year of Saint Paul. This apostle was the first great missionary of the Church (he wrote most of the letters in the New Testament) and there will be events celebrating him throughout the year. Both Peter and Paul were martyred in Rome in about the year 65AD and this is why the HQ of the Catholic Church is in Rome.
Second collection today for Peter's Pence.
