Supporting our Priests - The First Collection at Work
In the Archdiocese of Adelaide, all Diocesan and Religious Order Priests – those in active ministry and those retired are supported principally through the First Collection on Sundays.
Through the Diocesan Presbytery Fund, the Clergy Care Council along with the Religious Orders administer the finances which come through it, along with offerings made at Baptisms, Weddings and Funerals.
There is no Federal or State Government Grants which support the clergy.
From the First Collection priests receive:
- Health Insurance;
- Medical and dental expenses;
- Housekeeping expenses;
- Nursing Home and hostel care;
- A modest salary.
Your generous offerings to the Diocesan Presbytery Fund are vital in providing these support services to the clergy.
