SOME FACTS AND FIGURES
This month we have added over 200 households to our neighbourhoods, bringing to 3,122 the number of households in our parish where a Catholic resides.
With the statement of our Thanksgiving Offering, there is a summary of our finances for 2009. We are able to service our debt of $739,608 (excludes debts on schools) and our annual running costs of $328,815 due to the generosity of 928 parish families who contribute the first hour of their income to God’s work in thanksgiving for all God’s gifts.
Further details are with your new envelopes which will be available in approx. two weeks.
