Each Diocese in the world takes up this collection each year as an act of solidarity with and support for Our Holy Father.  It supports the administration of the Universal Church and the Holy See’s own charitable work.  In these difficult times, when we are not yet able to come along the Church, we are unable to take a Special Collection.  To overcome this, the Diocese of Motherwell has taken steps to enable those who wish to make a donation for this Special Collection via the Diocesan website.  You can access this at: https://www.mygivinghub.com/detailed/donate?charity_id=1086524
