It covers presbytery expenses; electricity, gas and water bills, housekeeping and stipends of the priest and clergy. Deficit from the first collection is topped up by ‘Sydney’ Clergy Remuneration System (CRS). When this collection is in surplus, the surplus is sent to the CRS for distribution to needier parishes.
