An unprecedented pandemic situation lays bare the reality of critical finance for most people, and the Church is no exception.
Fr Wilfred Atin, parish priest of St Michael Penampang, said now the parish needs to move away from conventional fundraising methods to an easier one which is less burdening, relaxing and more spiritual.
“(There is a) need to move from the conventional methods of fundraising like dinners, raffles, concerts and bazaars. I believe there should be better ways in which everyone would not be burdened and would happily be contributing to the parish finance,” said Fr Atin in his recent Advent Pastoral Notes.
