FINANCIAL DOCUMENTS
UNDERSTANDING THE WEEKLY OFFERTORY NUMBERS
The donations St. Ann’s gets each week in the collection basket aren’t the only offertory donations we receive. Here’s how we categorize your financial stewardship:
•In-pew giving: Cash and checks put in the collection basket at Mass. These donations are counted by a team of parishioners and deposited weekly.
•Electronic giving: Funds received outside of Mass through various means. Typically, this means donations through our website or bank-issued checks that you use to pay other obligations, such as your electric bill. But oftentimes, parishioners make donations from trusts, stock portfolios and savings accounts such as 401(k)s. These also are considered electronic giving and are accounted for at the end of the month.
•Holy day collections: These funds are accounted for at the end of the month.
