Title

Archdiocese announces financial plan responding to COVID-19 crisis

Description

The first part of the plan is to stabilize offertory income by encouraging pastors to reach out to parishioners online or in other ways and by promoting online giving. “The parishes that were doing the best with online giving going into this are doing better,” Bohlen said. “Other parishes that were more dependent on cash (donations) are having a harder time.” To help, the archdiocese created a web page that allows people to donate money on a one-time or recurring basis and direct that donation to any archdiocesan parish. The crisis, she said, could help parishes move to more online giving in the future.
