First Collection - Continue to Contribute
The 'First Collection' is for the parish priest. The contributions made are deposited into the Central Presbytery Fund from which the clergy are paid their annual stipend of $19,000 per annum. With social distancing restrictions, parishioners unable to attend services have little opportunity to contribute to the stipend of their parish priest.
If you would like to continue contributing to the 'First Collection' then you can deposit directly into the Central Presbytery Fund account, Catholic Archdiocese of Canberra & Goulburn.
