Can parishioners continue to make weekly offertory contributions during this period of public mass suspensions?

During the COVID-19 pandemic and the temporary suspension of public Masses in the Archdiocese of Detroit, we recognize your parish still needs the support of your parishioners for parish operations, including outreach ministries.

For parishes that already have an online offertory system in place, we recommend you communicate with parishioners not currently on your system to sign up for this service. To accommodate everyone in making offertory contributions, including parishes that do not have an online offertory system in place, we have developed an online offertory option, similar to the current online CSA giving system.

Parishioners will be able to go to give.aod.org and select the "Parish Offertory" option to make their contribution. Parish offertory funds donated on this website will be deposited in your parish LDP account weekly. Please note: a follow-up notification with direction will be sent to each pastor.
