Increased Offertory Resource
Are you looking for innovative ways to increase your offertory? An Increased Offertory Program is often led by a third partner vendor that offers a complete range of services designed to increase weekly offertory giving in your parish. The Catholic Community Foundation endorses qualified and trusted outside consultants that can plan and facilitate the process, including our partner, Our Sunday Visitor, which has worked with several Archdiocese of New Orleans parishes implementing this service. See OSV’s website for more information.
