Greetings!  
 
This Sunday, the Vatican will ask church-going Catholics to donate to a second-collection for Peter's Pence. Lauded as funding the Pope's private charities, the Peter's Pence collection goes directly to Rome and is reportedly spent on "Vatican operating expenses"--without transparency or public accounting. 

 

The Nun Justice Project is asking you NOT to donate.  Instead, we are asking you to redirect your support  to your local women religious communities and record your pledge  here.

 

This Sunday, let's ensure the Vatican knows the power of the Gospel is in the hands of the people. Already over $65,000 has been pledged to communities of women religious across the U. S. Join us in reminding the Vatican that Catholics support those who truly live the Gospel.

 We are the Church!
