26th Sunday in Ordinary Time Parish Finances
September 25, 2011 With the help of the Parish Finance Committee,
I have recently submitted our parish report for
the fiscal year 2010-2011 to the Paterson
Diocesan Business Office. Our parish
completed the fiscal year with a deficit of
$66,456. Moreover, as of the end of the fiscal
year, we had $54,658 in unpaid bills and
$281,596 of outstanding loans to the Paterson Diocese.
With great concern, our Parish Finance Committee and I spent
significant time preparing the budget for the 2011-2012 fiscal year. We
