Information About Obligatory Contribution to the Church For providing these opportunities (pastoral services, sacraments, church publications, charities, ...) The Catholic Church in Austria, like in other countries, needs financial support from its members. As our priests are not paid directly for their services, they get their salaries from their local diocese. Each member of the Catholic Church in Austria pays a part of his taxable income (about 1 %) to his diocese. This payment is a sign of solidarity, and all contributions together enable the Catholic Church in Austria to fulfil its pastoral, chariatable and cultural tasks. You can help us to calculate your contribution accurately and in a fair way if you let us know the amount of your taxable income and if you inform us about your social situation. Therefore we would ask you politely to contact your office for church contributions at least once a year. Be sure that you are welcome in the Roman Catholic Church in Austria, as its parishes are open for you. (red)
