parish offertory
The Parish Offertory Program
invites parishioners to reflect upon the blessings in their lives and
their current level of offertory giving.
The diocese currently offers support to parishes through
training in the Bannon Offertory Program and Faith Direct.
The Arlington Diocese launched the Bannon Offertory
program in the fall of 2005. The reporting parishes that implemented
the program experienced an average increase of 20% the first year of
the program. In the second year of the program, the parishes that
conducted a renewal phase experienced a 5-10% increase over their first
year’s increase.
Considered the leading full service electronic giving
program for churches nationwide, Faith Direct has inspired the
conversion of thousands of envelope users to recurring automatic
supporters. Their program for participating churches provides the
security, marketing, infrastructure and administrative capacity that
consistently leads to superior results and participation.
