Pope’s Pastoral Works Collection
Sunday May 16 2010 – A disastrous flood or earthquake strikes a nation at the other end of the world. Immediately, many countries rush in food, medicine, blankets, money, and trained people.
Prominent among such aid is the financial help offered by the Holy Father to people in need. In the name of Catholics everywhere, he displays Christ’s love and compassion for those who suffer.
Canada has been consistent in giving such funds to the Holy See, enabling the Pope to be even more generous in times of disaster.
Each year at this time, Canadian Catholics are asked to give generously to this papal collection, which is passed on to the Holy Father for his use among those stricken by natural disasters.
Those who are generous in their response to Christ’s appeal for his needy brothers and sisters will someday hear his words.
