Today most parishes have an online method of donation. This enables us to contribute from afar with a credit card or other financial account. If you are active in the business/administration of your parish, you have likely had some involvement with an online financial service.
There is a wonderful opportunity that this affords us. We have the ability to easily and quickly reach out and help another parish!
Initiative: Find a parish that is small or struggling. See if you can find information on a parish that is in need, whether it is a new mission parish or an old one that is struggling after membership losses. Commit to donating some amount to them this week, perhaps what you would give on a typical Sunday at your own parish, or perhaps even more.
Augmented initiative: Commit to making such a donation for 3 consecutive weeks, whether it is to the same parish or another one in need.
