The Catholic Church in London is considering contactless collections to make donations easier. The move is one of a number of possible options to help parishioners and visitors in an increasingly "cashless society", officials said. Several Catholic parishes in the Diocese of Westminster have already taken up the chance to allow parishioners to donate via text message on their mobile phone. All parishes have been offered a code to allow them to do this, and the diocese said a few had already begun using this technology. Now as we move into more of a cashless society, we want to make it easier for parishioners as well as visitors. The diocese is considering contactless collections as one of a number of possible options for the future. – Diocese of Westminster statement
