Where does all the money the catholic church collects go?

Question

Keep in mind the church my parents attends collects for:

Weekly Collection
Monthly Collection

Maintenance 
Utilities 
Air Condition (In summer, and the only place I know of the gets a bill for "air condition, everyone else covers it with "Utilities")
Heat (in winter, again, the only place I know that gets a separate bill for "heat", everyone else covers it with "Utilities")
Major Repairs (Weekly) 
Minor Repairs (Weekly)
Flowers (General) (Weekly)
Whatever holiday it is flowers
Clergy Retirement Fund

Now they are collecting for "Snow removal" - 2nd question -If we get little to no snow this year, do they save it for next year?  Or collect more next year?

You cannot say they use the weekly collection for any of the things listed, since there are separate collections for each of those thins (the envelopes rotate so one week you give "weekly" and one or two of the other things)

You can't say "charity" since if the have a charity to "give" to they add another collection.

So where does all the "weekly" and "monthly" money go?

Over a hundred million dollars a year goes to the care of poor and needy people throughout the world.  Some of it goes to spreading the truth of Jesus Christ, in obedience to His command to "go forth and make disciples of all peoples".  Obviously some of it goes to the upkeep of churches, the meager salaries of priests, etc.

I don't know anything about their finances.

I do know that all of the money the jehoah's witnesses cult leaders beg for, goes straight to their pockets.

Hiding all those rapist priests and paying off their victims ain't cheap.

The Catholic Church is the largest charitable organization in the world.

They give some of it to the victims of molestation.  Catholicism is not Christian.  Catholicism leads to hell, because catholicism teaches works for salvation, which is a false gospel (Galatians 1:6-9).  Catholicism has tons of other false doctrines, and didn't even exist for hundreds of years after the Bible was complete.  Get away from catholicism.

Nobody can be good enough to avoid hell. The truth is that death leads to immediate heaven or hell, depending only on whether the person believed in Jesus for eternal life, or not.

The truth is that Jesus loves you and wants to bless your life freely :) Most of all, Jesus wants you with Him forever, and not in hell. The truth is that every belief except one will lead to eternal torment in the lake of fire for every person. Because nothing pays for our sins except the death and blood of Jesus, the sacrifice of Jesus that is already accomplished by Him . Jesus loves you! The truth is that Jesus is God, and Jesus died on the cross to pay for all of our sins in full, and then Jesus resurrected from the dead. Nothing else pays for our sins, not works, not deeds, not religions. So the only way to heaven and to avoid hell, is by believing in Jesus for eternal life (John 6:47), without adding any of your own works (Romans 4:5). Believe in Jesus to take you to heaven, and you will be in heaven, no matter what, guaranteed. That easy, thanks to Jesus! Tell Jesus that you thank Him that you will be with Him in heaven when you die, because you believe in Jesus! It is too late to be saved, after death
