Last October the “Planned Offering Program” was implemented. The goal was to raise the weekly collection to $25,000. We exceeded the goal, thanks to your generosity! The current average is $25,180 a week. The budget for Fiscal Year 2016-2017 saw an increase of 3%. Salaries, Benefits, Maintenance of property and buildings, utilities, and supplies have increased. Please consider, once again, increasing your weekly donation. Even a slight increase from everyone would enable us to meet expenses so that we can avoid using savings for the day-to-day operations. Father Rizzo will speak about this next weekend.
