Fiscal Year 2025-26 Report & Budget for Fiscal Year 2026-2027
Dear Fellow Parishioners,
On behalf of our Pastoral Leadership Team, I am happy to present to you both the annual report for the 2025-2026 fiscal year, as well as the budget for the 2026-2027 fiscal year. The Pastoral Leadership Team, led by our Pastor, Fr. Canisius Tah, consists of our two lay Parish Corporators, the Finance Committee, and Chair of the Pastoral Council. The Parish Business Manager, Norma Wagner, CPA, created the pie charts that can be found in the bulletin as well as on our website. In reviewing the charts for the past fiscal year, which ended on June 30th, you will see that our operating income surpassed that of our operating expenses by $88,132. Without the continued support of two staff members who volunteer their services and those parishioners who volunteer to help with our weekly maintenance needs, the past fiscal year would not have had the modest profit above.
For the current Fiscal Year, we have projected a modest increase in revenue and anticipate the continued close monitoring of expenses. We have a few items of concern including a potential out of pocket expense related to the lightning strike and fire at the Gribbin Center for up to $30,000. An additional item of concern is repair of the parking lot for an estimated $95,000. This is repair only. Eventually there will need to be a complete resurfacing of the entire parking lot. Last Fiscal year we operated with one less priest. We hope to add another priest this year. Finally, I would like to thank all the very generous members of the parish who make worship here at St. Joseph Church possible through your financial support and would ask for your continued support.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email me at
Respectfully in Christ,
Jim Dougherty, CPA- Finance Chair
