Pope Leo XIV marks feast day as Vatican launches campaign to help erase its $57-68 million deficit
ROME (AP) — Pope Leo XIV on Sunday celebrated a special feast day traditionally used by the Catholic Church to drum up donations from the faithful, with the Vatican under the first American pope rolling out a new campaign to urge ordinary Catholics to help bail out the deficit-ridden Holy See. Leo celebrated Mass in St. Peter's Basilica, marking the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul and repeated his message calling for unity and communion among all Christians. In churches around the world, Masses on the July 29 feast day often include a special collection for Peter's Pence, a fund which both underwrites the operations of the central government of the Catholic Church and pays for the pope's personal acts of charity. With a promotional video, poster, QR code and website soliciting donations via credit card, PayPal, bank transfer and post office transfer, the Vatican is betting this year that an American-style fundraising pitch under the Chicago-born Leo will help keep the Holy See bureaucracy afloat and erase its 50 million to 60 million euro ($57-68 million) structural deficit. The video features footage of Leo's emotional first moments as pope, when he stepped out onto the loggia of St. Peter's Basilica and later choked up as he received the fisherman's ring of the papacy. With an evocative soundtrack in the background, the video superimposes a message, available in several languages, urging donations to Leo via the Peter's Pence collection. 'With your donation to Peter's Pence, you support the steps of the Holy Father,' it says. 'Help him proclaim the Gospel to the world and extend a hand to our brothers and sisters in need. Support the steps of Pope Leo XIV. Donate to Peter's Pence.' The fund has been the source of scandal in recent years, amid revelations that the Vatican's secretariat of state mismanaged its holdings through bad investments, incompetent management and waste. The recent trial over the Vatican's bungled investment in a London property confirmed that the vast majority of Peter's Pence contributions had funded the Holy See's budgetary shortfalls, not papal charity initiatives as many parishioners had been led to believe. Between the revelations and the COVID-19 pandemic, which closed churches and canceled out the traditional pass-the-basket collection on June 29, Peter's Pence donations fell to 43.5 million euros in 2022 — a low not seen since 1986 — that was nevertheless offset the same year by other investment income and revenue to the fund. Donations rose to 48.4 million euros (about $56.7 million) in 2023 and hit 54.3 million euros (nearly $63.6 million) last year, according to the Peter's Pence annual report issued last week. But the fund incurred expenses of 75.4 million euros ($88.3 million) in 2024, continuing the trend in which the fund is exhausting itself as it covers the Holy See's budgetary shortfalls. On top of the budget deficit, the Vatican is also facing a 1 billion euro (about $1.17 billion) shortfall in its pension fund that Pope Francis, in the months before he died, warned was unable in the medium term to fulfill its obligations. Unlike countries, the Holy See doesn't issue bonds or impose income tax on its residents to run its operations, relying instead on donations, investments and revenue generated by the Vatican Museums, and sales of stamps, coins, publications and other initiatives. For years, the United States has been the greatest source of donations to Peter's Pence, with U.S. Catholics contributing around a quarter of the total each year. Vatican officials are hoping that under Leo's pontificate, with new financial controls in place and an American math major running the Holy See, donors will be reassured that their money won't be misspent or mismanaged. 'This is a concrete way to support the Holy Father in his mission of service to the universal Church,' the Vatican's economy ministry said in a press release last week announcing the annual collection and new promotional materials surrounding it. 'Peter's Pence is a gesture of communion and participation in the Pope's mission to proclaim the Gospel, promote peace, and spread Christian charity.' ___ Associated Press religion coverage receives support through the AP's collaboration with The Conversation US, with funding from Lilly Endowment Inc.

Woman's epic walk raises thousands for charity
A Trowbridge woman has raised thousands of pounds for her local air ambulance charity after walking almost 100 kilometres in 24 hours. Corrina Webb walked 97 kilometres in one day as part of an epic fundraising effort for the Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance Charity that has at time of writing seen £5,310 raised. Starting from Milford on Sea, Corrina headed west and kept walking through the night, making her way around Bournemouth and joining the South West coastal path towards Weymouth. 'What an experience,' she said, reflecting on the effort. 'The first 17 hours were comfortable, then it hit hard. 'Mentally I hit a wall, physically my legs were heavy and not moving as they should, and my body was broken. 'But I knew I wasn't going to stop, it wasn't an option – so it was head down and just keep moving one foot in front of the other for another seven hours.' During the walk, Corrina's fastest kilometre was an astonishing 10 minutes and 25 seconds. Her slowest kilometre, she says amid recovery from her valiant effort on this back-breaking journey, was 39 minutes and 16 seconds.

Corrina, who works for Wiltshire Council's health programme, says encouraging people to remain active and healthy is not just a part of her job, but part of her personal mission. As part of her inspiring journey, Corrina was joined by a host of walkers to joined her for stretches of the journey, which she says helped inspire her. She said: 'I love helping people, inspiring people, encouraging them to believe in themselves, and on this occasion so many believed in me, encouraged me, and helped me to keep going. 'My support crew I could not have got through without you all - you are amazing. Friends and family walked with me, brought me food and top ups on fluids which were very much welcomed and it was a very warm day.' Reflecting on why she did it, and what the journey meant to her, she said: 'I've always been asked when I do my crazy adventures what charity I am doing it for? My answer was always 'it's just for fun, and something I'd like to try'. 'So, I decided many months ago I'm going to create my own challenge and see if I can raise some money for a local charity. 'There were so many to choose from, but I chose to raise money for Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance, a life-saving service that has helped so many.' 'Over the last 18 months I've walked different stages of my challenge to work out routes and check any obstacles there may be, and then the day finally came. '24 hours walking without stopping… all for time and whatever distance my legs would let me go. Following the walk, she said: 'I am feeling so loved, so proud and my legs are a little bit broken but recovery is good and I was lucky to be treated to a full body massage a couple of days after." A spokesperson for Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance Charity said: "Each year we need to raise £5million to provide vital critical medical care, by land and air, across Wiltshire and Bath. Those funds come entirely from generous donations from the public. "There are many fun and wacky ways in which people can help support their local air ambulance, such as Corinna's incredible 24-hour walk. We can't thank her enough for taking on this challenge and raising valuable funds for our lifesaving work." To read more about the fundraiser, visit
