Dear Members of St Henry’s Cathedral Parish, At its meeting on December 15, the Diocesan Finance Committee has confirmed that the primary recipient of membership fees in the Diocese of Helsinki henceforth will be the parishes. This means that parishes can ask their members to specifically support the parish instead of the Diocese. The Parish will then pay 10 per cent of all its income to the Diocese, in accordance with the instructions from the Bishop earlier this year (October 17, 2017).
The Finance Committee decided to look at the situation again in the autumn of 2018, when it is possible to assess how the new system works. At the same time, they will see if the payment of 10 per cent of income from the parishes to the Diocese is suitable.
