Dear Fellow Parishioners,
As we look back at our last year we have much to be thankful for. We have
a parish that has been blessed with many gifts – both spiritually and
financially.
Our Sharing Christ’s Gifts campaign has set ambitious goals to meet the
many capital needs of our parish. Time has taken a toll o our facilities,
and repairs are required to maintain the safety and beauty of our parish.
The generosity of our parishioners will enable us to proceed this year
with repairs to the bell Tower and Rose Window along with the demolition
of the Convent.

During a period of time in which many parishes
are facing financial difficulties and catholic school closings are
becoming a fact of life, we continue to thrive. Our weekly collections
have remained strong and our special fund–raisers continue to be well
received.
However, we do have our concerns. Our buildings
are very old and will continue to require repairs and maintenance. Our
future parking needs will necessitate expansion of our current lots. And
certainly it is our desire to support the overall ministry and mission
Jesus. Our long-term financial plans address all the issues and many more.
It is our goal to ensure a financially strong and beautiful parish for
both our current families and the many generations that will follow.

Our Mission |
|
We are a people of faith, gathered as a Catholic Community, willing
to respond to the message of Jesus Christ. We are called to share
our gifts, talents and resources. This responsibility is expressed
through our sacramental celebrations and the witness we give to our
daily lives. |
The details of our parish are included as a part
of this report for you review. Your comments, concerns, and questions are
both solicited and appreciated. Please do not hesitate to contact anyone
of the members of the Finance Committee if you would like to discuss any
of these items that are so important to the future of our parish.
God Bless America and our Parish.
Eugene C. Hunziker
Chairman – Finance Committee
