Our tithes go to CFC mission and other works of evangelization. Here are some examples:
CFC administrative expenses including CFC Mission Center operations, audio-visual equipment used for cluster and area events
Expenses of CFC ministries -- for example
Chapter assemblies, CLPs, some formation events
Some events of Family Ministries and Social Ministries
Support and fund our CFC Full-Time Pastoral Workers (FTPW) (our Catholic Lay Missionaries)
Tithes do not go to the chapter.Â
All chapter expenses are funded by the chapter. Here are some sample chapter expenses -- plates, forks, spoons, music ministry equipment, projector, and so on.
Catholic Precept #5:
"You shall help to provide for the needs of the Church."
Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2043
...a tithe that is offered in gratitude to God for the many gifts He bestows upon us and for the well-being and nourishment of the priests in our midst, and for the ability of the Church to continue to function in its work of evangelization and service of the people of God in our local parishes, and in our diocese, and throughout the world.
Fr William Nicholas
CFC is one with the Catholic Church in the work of evangelization by sending missionaries, helping in the spiritual formation of people where our community and full-time pastoral workers (FTPW) can reach, and more.
