Donations 97In spite of his vow of poverty, a member is permitted to accept and collect donations offered in any manner for the good of the parish and the parishioners, for Catholic schools, or for places or objects of worship within parish boundaries, and he may administer the donations, accepted or collected; likewise, he may spend them according to his prudent judgment, observing the will of the donors. (C 144) CM 384 Duties of Pastors 98In fulfilling their office of shepherd, let the pastors first of all take care to know their own flock. Since they are servants of all the sheep, let them foster the growth of the Christian life in the individual faithful as well as in families; in associations, especially those dedicated to the apostolate; and in the entire parish community. Therefore, they should visit homes and schools as their pastoral ministry demands, pay special attention to adolescents and youth, attend the poor and the sick with fatherly love, and also have a particular concern for workers, and make an effort that the faithful would offer help to the works of the apostolate.
