Dear parishioners,
Our sympathy to Brent Imker and family on the death of his mother. May she rest in peace.
Thank you to all who helped with Fr. Aaron's reception following his Mass of Thanksgiving, with setup, serving, cleanup, etc. The weekend was wonderful, and I am glad that so many were abel to attend the ordination and Mass of Thanksgiving. I hope that the next ordination from our AFC will be even better attended.
We have formally begun a new fiscal year. We have budgets set with very minimal changes. The largest items in the budgets of our parishes are the support of our school (whether it be one line in the budget as Subsidy, or a number of lines items as at St. Anne's like salaries and books). I am so thankful for your generous support in the education of our children. To help, we decided to raise the tuition $40 to $700 per student. We are still at the very bottom of the tuition range of the entire diocese. But the financial aspect of our school and parishes are only a little of the tale. We need to remember the main purpose of everything we do: to know, love and serve the Lord in this life so to be with Him for eternity. That means the entirety of our faith formation program (elementary after school and high school, as well as adult faith formation), continued care of good liturgy and liturgical space, and the other items needed to support such programs. Thank you for your support of all of these.
In Christ,
Fr. Todd
