Good news, Parishioners! Although we have projected a fiscal loss of approximately $30,000 for FYE 6/30/24, we have vastly improved our expenditures, saving a projected $224,000. We have examined every bill from every vendor, went with a little less heat, a little less air conditioning, and (sadly) a reduced headcount. The Archdiocese has advised us of the increases still to come in insurance expense (property insurance and liability insurance); however, the Archdiocese has not increased their assessment for our shared services (legal dept., payroll dept., insurance dept.) And a big, heartfelt thank you to our parishioners, new and old, that bless us with an abundance in donations on a weekly basis. Click title for report
