It is my hope that we will have the Annual Financial Reports for both churches reviewed by our Joint Parish Finance Council by October 21. 2022. Shortly after that October 30, 2022. these reports should be available for our parishioners.
I want to both acknowledge and communicate that the Renew My Church process of unification of both churches’ financial reporting for the last fiscal year ending June 30, 2022 has taken much longer than anticipated. These first 100 days have been filled with several hopeful signs of uniting heritage and the complications of uniting new people and new ways. As our Lord reminds us we cannot pour new wine into old wine skins.
The Archdiocesan wide employee timekeeping conversion to a new payroll company continues to encounter transitional challenges which has caused Archdiocesan and parish staff to focus on this conversion. This is important since it our faithful and hardworking employees need to be paid.
Again, I appreciate all who have been patiently waiting for the financial information and I apologize for the Archdiocesan delays for those who have been frustrated by the continued delays, myself included.
I will update the parish as soon as all the previous fiscal year information is reviewed and available along with the first quarter of this new fiscal year. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me at the Parish Rectory office.
With you a disciple, for you a priest
