St. Francis of Assisi Parish operates on a fiscal year, which begins on July 1 and ends on June 30. Our annual budget also runs from July to June. We are so very grateful to all who supported the work of our Parish over the past 12 months. Each year, however, the expenses involved in all our parish operations and programs increase, and as always, we depend on our parishioners to help meet these expenses.
Our weekly collection increased 20% this year. We are at 92% of pre-COVID collection totals ($21,113). In 2021-2022, our average weekly collection was $19,375. Our weekly Sunday Offertory goal will remain at $16,000—the amount we need each week to meet all our financial responsibilities. Although we are not increasing our weekly goal, we still ask you to consider a 3-5% increase in your weekly or monthly donation to help us cover all the unexpected expenses that come up every year. This will assure that our parish will continue to fulfill our mission of “living and sharing the Gospel through worship, education, and service as well as being able to meet all of our financial responsibilities. Thank you for sharing God’s gifts.

Fr. Stanley, Pastor
