What is a Grand Annual Collection? 


 

A Grand Annual collection is an annual collection that supports projects for repairs and maintenance to our churches and properties. Unlike the Offertory collection taken up weekly to support the regular operating budget expenses, the Grand Annual is a collection taken up in a specific period of time to cover upfront costs for immediately needed repairs and maintenance without disrupting the normal Offertory collection proceeds.

 

A Grand Annual collection was introduced several years ago at St. Anthony of Padua parish allowing the church to realize many needed updates and repairs to the church and property. Today, we are introducing a Grand Annual collection at St. Barbara parish with the same intent - to have many of the needed projects completed at the church and property.
