Looking at the summary budget, you'll note that diocesan mission and ministry are largely supported by pledges from the parishes. Currently, each parish is asked to give 10 or 12 percent of its plate and pledge income, according to a formula approved by a previous convention and defined in "Resolution 9" of that year. Executive Board will build the 2017 budget based on these pledges. What can you tell your parish about how their share of giving forwards mission?
