What Are Church Offering Baskets?
Church offering baskets (also called collection baskets or alms baskets) are used during Mass to collect the faithful's monetary offerings for the support of the parish and the poor.
Types of Offering Baskets
- Traditional wicker baskets — classic design, lightweight and durable
- Metal offering baskets — brass or bronze with decorative elements
- Velvet-lined baskets — for more solemn liturgical use
Design
Our offering baskets are designed for practical use while maintaining a dignified appearance. They feature comfortable handles and are sized to hold a typical collection of envelopes and loose offerings.
Stewardship
The collection is an act of stewardship and generosity. The offerings support the parish's operational costs, charitable works, and the support of the clergy.
