“Your Archdiocese takes a percentage of the funds that are donated to the parish. That is not voluntary.”

That is true only in some dioceses. It’s called a “cathedraticum.”

It does not exist in my diocese.

If you live in a diocese that has it, you can satisfy your obligation to support the Church by giving to good charities.

I support my parish by volunteering and by donations. I will continue to work and donate to support my parish.

I am a devout Catholic. My faith is very important to me.
