A collection plate is often used near the end of Protestant worship services to gather the gifts of the faithful for the support of the church and for charity.

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 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.
