Pastor’s Message
We would like to share with everyone some updates on the financial status of St. Mary’s. A financial report from the Arch-diocese has brought to our a en on the fact that, for the past few years, our expenses generally, including staff payroll costs, have exceeded parish revenue. Consequently, in consulta on with the Archdiocese, the staff has been asked to take on a number of changes to their job descrip ons, job tles, working hours, and overall salaries. We are grateful to the staff for their coopera-
on and flexibility with these changes, and we humbly ask you to con nue to be as gen-erous as possible in suppor ng the mission of St. Mary’s. Blessings, Fr. Anthony and Fr. Ma hew
