Our Administrative Commission and Pastoral Council reviewed these figures and approved this budget in June. Each member of the Pastoral Council, Administrative Commission, and parish staff, as members of this community, believes and trusts that each member of this parish can help us to accomplish our ministerial and financial goals. The only category that has risen significantly is the category with salaries. We have once again budgeted some monies for a youth coordinator as well as providing a cost of living increase for our existing employees. As you can see from our calendar there are only five days of October that our parish has not scheduled some activity or ministry.
Most days there is more than one event scheduled.
Each activity has at least one or two staff members involved either directly or indirectly in some fashion and there are a lot of functions that are done behind the scenes. Ministry takes prayer, coordination, time, and resources with all those who share their time and talents to serve this parish community both volunteers and staff. As a community we each need to do our part and have the faith of children to believe and trust that our parish finances can continue to provide for our ministries, services, and operating costs for both our current building and our future new home of worship. Thank you for your continued support of this parish community. May God bless you abundantly this day and always.
