OFFERTORY (from the ecclesiastical Lat. offertorium, Fr. offertoire, a place to which offerings were brought) , the
alms
  of a
congregation

part
  of the Communion service appointed to be said or sung, during the collection of
alms
 , before the elements are consecrated. In music, an offertory is the vocal or instrumental setting of the offertory sentences, or a short instrumental piece played by the organist while the collection is being made.
