A '''collection plate''' is often used near the end of some [[Protestant]] worship services to gather the gifts of the faithful for the support of the church and for charity. Members of other assemblies, including some [[Lutheran]] churches, do not use a collection plate, but simply make arrangements to support their church without the temptation of using the collection plate for a public show of [[piety]].

In the [[Roman Catholic]] [[Mass]] the collection plate is replaced by a basket which is passed among the faithful immediately following the ''[[Liturgy]] of the Word''. A family or group selected before the Mass (such as the [[Knights of Columbus]]) then approach the [[priest]] with these monetary gifts, as well as the unconsecrated [[host (holy communion)|host]] and wine, which are laid under the [[altar]] before beginning the ''Liturgy of the Eucharist''. This spiritually unites the sacrifice of the people with the pure [[oblation]] who is the [[Eucharistic]] [[Christ]].
