These projects are typically paid from the normal Operating Income provided for by the Weekly Offertory Collections. In order to meet these costs, it is estimated that a 10% increase in the Weekly Sunday Offertory Collections will be required. In addition to the increase, we are pursuing a line by line analysis to reduce budgeted costs by 6%.
Therefore, it is important that your contributions to the Weekly Offertory Collections continue now and, especially, throughout the summer months. This might be a good time to switch to Electronic Funds Transfer. This process will insure you making your regular contributions as well as insure continuity of income to the Parish through the ordinarily sparse summer weekends.
