COVID-19’s Impact on
U.S. Catholic Parish Giving.
A partnership between ACS Technologies and Villanova University’s Center for Church Management in the Villanova School of Business examined the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on church giving. With over 1000 U.S. Catholic parishes participating nationwide, the findings were revealing.
- Attendance has decreased in the Catholic Church since COVID-19.
- But giving in most regions of the U.S. was up.
- What’s the real story behind these numbers?
Generosity and its overall decline, its need for communication, and its important stewardship role are one of the acute issues facing the church today.
