Where do our Sunday collections and offerings go?
If we can spend so much for the invitation cards, photo op and floral arrangements, a little magnanimity to the parish is the least that one can do on the occasion of one’s wedding that ordinarily happens only once in a lifetime. How beautiful it will be when dioceses and parishes can already survive on the voluntary support of the faithful who are conscientious enough of their obligation to support the needs of the Church so that they no longer require offerings during the celebration of the sacraments! The next time we put something on the collection box or give some donation to the Church, we consider our membership and belonging to a bigger family of God, convinced that our offerings serve the mission of the Church, especially in helping our brothers and sisters who are most affected by this current crisis including those who do not share our faith.
