Dear Friends in Christ,

It is with a grateful heart that I share our Annual Report for the 2025 Fiscal Year. Our parish continues to thrive because of your unwavering faith and generosity.

This year, your Offertory Donations were the foundation of our success, totaling $779,703. We are also deeply grateful for the thoughtful contributions of $51,825 through Qualified Charitable Distributions or Required Minimum Distributions, which provide a lasting legacy for our parish. Other vital sources of income included $50,992 from our investments, along with contributions from Religious Education Tuition $34,563 and ministry-led Fundraising Efforts $24,107. In total, your generosity resulted in $991,177 in income for the 2025 fiscal year.

On the expense side, our most significant investments were in our dedicated Parish Staff $385,166 and the ongoing care of our spiritual home through Building Maintenance $163,994. I am so proud of our team, who, even as a “skeleton crew”, has accomplished so much this year. This commitment is also reflected in our Operational Investments $117,894, which included a much-needed renovation of the parish office to improve efficiency and better serve our community. Other key expenses included Diocesan Assessments $146,876, Utilities $95,683, and Loan Interest Fees $76,711. Our total overall expenses came to $1,064,858.

While we did see a net difference of (-$71,540) between income and expenses, this reflects our commitment to investing in our future. However, it is a reminder that we must strengthen our financial foundation to continue Maintaining Our Dream without relying on our savings.

This coming year, our goal is to increase our weekly offertory to not only cover our annual expenses but also to begin paying down our parish debt. Imagine the impact we can have if every household were to increase their regular weekly offering by just $10 or $20. This small change would create a profound, collective difference.

To make giving easier and more secure, we are excited to launch a new online giving platform, ParishSoft Giving. This new system allows you to direct your donations to different collections and helps our parish save on administrative costs. Please note that our old system will be discontinued on December 31st. If you use the old system, please take a moment to cancel your account at givesij.org/cancel and create a new one at givesij.org.

Thank you for your continued faith, support, and generosity. Together, we can ensure our parish remains a strong spiritual home for generations to come.

In Christ,

Fr. Jim
