Parish Collections
- The 1st Collection is used for the support of the Bishop and priests of the Diocese.
- The 2nd Collection is used to meet Parish running costs, maintenance of Church, Presbytery, offices, other
buildings and grounds. It is also used to pay staff salaries and superannuation.
Special Collections
During the year there are three special appeals for the Charitable Works Fund (CWF). The CWF appeal is used to
support the charitable activities of the Diocese, with contributions attracting 100% tax deductibility. Other collections
include an annual Appeal for the Missions, the Project Compassion appeal during Lent for Caritas and finally on Good Friday, there is a special collection for the Holy Places.
Parish Finance Committee
The state of the Parish finances is overseen by the Parish Finance Committee. Through the Finance Committee, the parishioners assist the parish priest in administering parish finances, in maintaining parish properties, in planning future capital works, in raising the necessary finances for the operation of the various parish services and in establishing a framework for greater shared responsibility within parish life.
The Committee is also responsible for ensuring that a suitable annual report concerning parish finances is made
available to all parishioners.
