| Summary: | In addition to a parish assessment (tax), the diocesan bishop annually asks the faithful for contributions to a diocesan appeal for “charities and development.” Each parish is assigned what is called a goal. In the parishioners’ donations do not meet the goal, the balance is subsequently added to the previously established assessment and invoiced to the parish as “under goal” for the annual appeal. No promotional materials from the diocese mention that the parish will be billed for the “under goal” balance. Is the additional assessment valid? Must any canonical procedure be follows (e.g., c. 1263)? If so, must it be done each year? Alternatively, is this a penalty on the parish for failing to meet the goal? Can the bishop oblige the pastor to pay the “under goal” amount with monies given to the parish and not the diocesan appeal? |
