Peter Pence Collection Today, Sunday, June 28th. The Peter’s Pence Collection derives its name from ancient custom. In ninth-century England, King Alfred the Great collected money – “pence” or pennies – from landowners as financial support for the Pope. Today, the Peter’s Pence Collection supports the Pope’s charitable work by giving the Holy Father the means to provide essential assistance.
