Summary/Abstract: During a pastoral visit the faithful make voluntary offerings. Part of the funds collected is paid for diocesan and parish needs, whereas the remaining amount is transferred to the clergy. Although specific solutions vary from one diocese to another, offerings made on a pastoral visit are substantial material support for presbyters, and thus constitute the implementation of the clergy’s right to decent support.
