This has never happened before. Give yourself some grace during this time.

Not all parishioners are on social media*.
You might not have an e-mail address for all parishioners. 

Keep in communication with your parishioners. At this time, there is no such thing as too much communication.

• Change the voicemail on your parish phone
• Post information on doors of parish buildings
• Send out e-mails, letters and social media posts

Ways to save money:

• Do not print a bulletin 
• Keep utilities to a minimum
• Use the diocese online giving platform - it is FREE

Ways to collect offertory

• Install a locked collection box on the church premise
• Mail a letter requesting offertory with a return envelope
• Encourage online giving (Free from diocesan website)
