Each parish has an individual CMA goal which represents a proportionate share of the overall $5 million total based on annual contributions to the parish. These goals are NOT based on past CMA performance or number of families. The Stewardship Department works with the Finance Department to compile these goals based on submitted parish financial data. A listing of parish goals for the 2021 CMA will be available in late December on the “CMA Info for Parish Staff” page of the CMA website, AOCstewardship.org/CMA. The password to access this portion of the website is: cma2007.
§
Parishes that exceed their goal will receive half of the overage to use for its own needs. In 2020, 95 parishes exceeded their goal in pledges! As a result, these parishes are receiving 50% of their over-goal donations, approximately a total of $480,322. An initial distribution of over $393,000 was made in October 2020 to these parishes.
§
It is in the parish’s interest to designate a parish ministry to benefit from the over-goal rebate. If your parish has not made its designation yet, we encourage you to select one and promote it to your parish.
