Guidelines
Definitions
Fundraising – The solicitation of funds, goods, or other items from parishioners or non-parishioners through event ticket sales, raffles, sales of goods, donations, etc., where there is a reasonable expectation that the event will result in an increase in the amount of money or goods available for use by the parish or its organizations. Worship related events (missions, retreats, etc.,) which do not charge a participation fee are excluded from these guidelines, even though a “free will” offering opportunity is made available to the participants.
