Lockdown depletes parish funds

The Archdiocese of Manila is now appealing for online donations. Its financial department will set up the fund-raising guidelines.

The Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases has allowed religious gatherings in areas under both modified enhanced and general community quarantines, but only with a limited number of people. “Other sacramental celebrations like blessings may add up, too,” he added, but he said that not all parishes use the arancel system, that is, charging people for some celebrations of the sacraments like baptism, first communion, confirmation, matrimony. “The quarantine [is] a big factor for this because there is less or not even an income enters the revenues of the parish church or school. Unless they get donations regularly, then they can answer for their operational expenses,” Magbitang said.

He added: “Maybe the CBCP can officially communicate with the IATF on how they plan to do this,” he added.

Sell your shares of stock.

The people are more in hardships. No income too.

Practice what you preach and feel the sacrifice. Put your behavior where your mouth has been for the last 2000 years.

Nobody can prove a significant improvement in their personal lives for giving money to the church. Everyone can prove a significant improvement in their lives by keeping their money and use it to feed their families. Feed the fat priests or feed your hungry family? Pick one.

So the reason why Bishop Pabillo wants church services is because of lack of collections?

we know. People have been going through that, the lack of funds, for close to 2 months now.
