Download Collection, Counting & Finance Guidelines

 

These newly expanded guidelines are divided into three sections. The first two sections contain detailed guidelines for securing a church’s Sunday collections between basket and bank, and the 3rd section provides a broad overview of a parish’s disbursements operations and how they can best be protected. The guidelines also include a description of the simple, low-cost equipment that must be combined with the recommended procedures so that your parish’s Sunday collection and disbursements operations can be elevated from the status of a sitting duck (most are) to that of an unobtrusive Fort Knox

 

It’s been said that one picture is worth a thousand words.  In this case, however, one picture could be worth a thousand dollars  -  every week  -  to a single parish.  The three pictures shown below depict what are, for all practical purposes, the only acceptable methods for securing a Sunday collection.  In each case, the securing procedure must be performed when the collectors meet at the rear of the church to consolidate their baskets.  Any delay whatsoever opens the door to surreptitious theft.
