ARISE
“Together in Christ”
Week #3
• Jesus, the Greatest of Teachers
• Reflect on Matthew 5:1-20
• Matthew presents Jesus as offering a new Law in the
Sermon on the Mount. In what way in the coming
week can I use the Beatitudes as the measure of my
actions?
Are you someone or do you
know someone who…..
Has experienced an interest in becoming
Catholic?
Was Baptized as a child but has not yet
celebrated the Sacraments of
Confirmation and/or Eucharist?
We offer an opportunity to come together in a small
group and learn more about our faith. Join us in the
RCIA process beginning this Fall!

Finance update for Fiscal 2014
Dear Parishioners,
The fiscal year ended in August, therefore I wanted to provide a
quick recap of the year and where we stand as a parish. Words
cannot adequately describe the gratitude and appreciation we,
your finance council, have for your continued support. To put
into perspective, we had budgeted a break-even year for our
profit, but we ended the year nearly $23,000 to the positive.
This surplus will be rolled into our savings account.
Profit & Loss for FY 2014 Income
Over the year, most income items stayed strong for the year and
some actually trended higher over the year. One example: income from the plate, and any holidays was strong throughout
the year and we ended the year about 8% higher than budget, or
nearly $20,000. Overall income came in 12% higher than plan.
Expenses
Expenses tracked closely to plan, and most items ended overall
only slightly higher than plan.
Net Results
The projected budget was for break-even results for the year.
But again due to your generosity, and the staff watching the
expenses closely, we ended to the positive $23.000.
Raise up the Roof Loan Balance
We began the year with a loan balance of approximately
$333,000, and we ended the year with a balance of $245,000.
All of our efforts will be to continue to focus on getting this
balance paid as soon as possible. We have about 5 years remaining on the loan, based upon our monthly loan payment of
$4,000 per month. As you can imagine, once the loan is paid in
full, we will have significantly more flexibility for items that
may present themselves to us.
Continued blessings, and thank you all for your continued support and generosity.
