Happy 2026 everyone! Now that we’re a few weeks into the new year, let’s take a moment to see how our 2025 finances wrapped up. The big headline is that we had a strong December for giving, and because of this finished out 2025 a little over 10% ahead of our fundraising goal for the year.

Expenses continued to fall back into line after the rough start to the year.

Here are a few details:

• Some remodeling-related bills impacted our Q4 parish operational budget. These were things like our dumpster rental, and we will separate them out and “reimburse” the operational budget from the building fund budget.

• December saw wonderful generousity from our community, and we received almost $59,000 in contributions to support the operations of the parish. This is in addition to what folks contributed for the building project!

• In the end, for 2025 Q4, we netted out $59,681 ahead of expenses, allowing the parish to continue contributing to the remodel project fundraising.
