Counters

COUNTERS A group of men and women who count the second (Planned Giving) collection on a rostered basis. Each group has four to six members and counts approximately once every nine weeks. A small group of very dedicated parishioners balance and bank the monies every week. Special Appeals, such as Charitable Works Fund and Project Compassion are also handled by this group.
