Ladies and Gentlemen:

We are pleased to present our report on the actuarial valuation of the Parochial Employees’ Retirement

System for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019. Our report is based on the actuarial assumptions

specified and relies on the data supplied by the system’s administrators and accountants. This report

was prepared at the request of the Board of Trustees of the Parochial Employees’ Retirement System.

The primary purposes of the report are to determine the actuarially required contribution for the

retirement system for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020, to recommend the net direct employer

contribution rate for Fiscal 2021. This report does not contain the information necessary for accounting

disclosures as required by Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statements 67 and 68;

that information is included in a separate report. This report was prepared exclusively for the Parochial

Employees’ Retirement System for a specific limited purpose. It is not for the use or benefit of any third

party for any purpose.

In our opinion, all of the assumptions on which this valuation is based are reasonable individually and

in the aggregate. Both economic and demographic assumptions are based on our expectations for future

experience for the fund. This report has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted actuarial

principles and practices, and to the best of our knowledge and belief, fairly reflects the actuarial present

values and costs stated herein. The undersigned actuaries are members of the American Academy of

Actuaries and have met the qualification standards for the American Academy of Actuaries to render

the actuarial opinions incorporated in this report, and are available to provide further information or

answer any questions with respect to this valuation.

Sincerely,

G. S. CURRAN & COMPANY, LTD.
