In other related financial matters we learned this week that, sin being real, some nefarious people are using the COVID-19 pandemic to promulgate new financial scams. One ECCT parish was recently contacted by a scammer with a request for cash assistance, under the name of the bishops, in order to provide relief for those suffering from COVID-19. Please be watchful for new scams at this time, and know that neither your bishops nor any diocesan staff will be contacting you, or members of your parish, personally to seek financial assistance of any kind.
