CWN Editor's Note: Catholic parishes in the US will see a 24% decline in collections during this fiscal year, according to a Villanova University study.

The Villanova study reports that parishes actively engaged in internet outreach enjoyed better results, while other parishes saw their collection revenues cut in half.
