From the desk of Father Dave - 11 Februaru 2001 Not a few people in the parish have financial concerns, more specifically, concerns that our parish will have to financially subsidize Holy Cross Parish or Holy Cross Grade School when St. Stanislaus and Holy Cross parishes consolidate . As can be seen in the printed mintues of the 27 January 2001 Parish Transition Committee meeting, finances of both parishes will remain separate and independent.
Diocesan policy requires a financial audit prior to the consolidation of parishes.
This is only good business. The results of the audit will be published in the Sunday bulletin. For this Lent and Easter both churches will celebrate their liturgies independently. While there are sound reasons for combining some of our Lenten and Holy Week services, there are likewise compelling arguments for not gathering our two congregations without adequate planning and preparation. At one time St. Stanislaus Parish had between 20 and 30 viable organizations.
