Re: Copper Sunday

A friend of mine, and I went to a couple of local Parishes yesterday to pick up bulletins..we do this just to read the latest heterodox Catholic news. Anyway, we compared the weekly collections from what they were previously.

I don't know if it's due to the scandals, hard times or what, but collections had dropped about a third at the ones we checked out...when $32,000 a week becomes $19,000, I bet someone notices.

I belong to a tiny parish within the Archdiocese of Boston - for the first time, I noticed yesterday that the collection of the previous week was down to $3,800.00 - a drop of about $1000.00
