Parish Collections When There is No Basket

Normally our Easter collections go entirely to Clergy Health and Retirement Trust in support of the priests of our archdiocese. Because cancelling public Masses has hurt parish offertory collections, the Clergy Trust blessed us with being able to keep for our parishes any Easter donations that were not explicitly directed to the Clergy Trust. This resulted in donations of $813 at St. Martha Parish and $2,750 at St. Mary Parish (in addition to the offertory amounts reported above).
