Thank you God our Father! In Jesus Christ, we experience your constant and infinite
divine love. Our daily thanks is not too much.
When I hear that you pray for me I am grateful. Know that I pray for you daily not only
as the obligation of a pastor but willingly and heartfelt.
As Pastor, I am privileged to see Christ’s love (made flesh) in so many of you. Serving as
Christ is our mission. Uniting us to God; healing and feeding the hungers of the body,
mind and soul. Caring for the imprisoned, paralyzed, alienated- all these bring the
kingdom of God to earth in our time. As Pastor, I must keep my eyes on the mission and
purpose given to us.
This journal gives a report of the stewardship of treasure but we must never forget its purpose is ministry. I have
the dedicated assistance of a fine staff and the good counsel of our finance and pastoral councils. I am not alone
in overseeing the good stewardship of time/talents/and treasures given in service to God’s Kingdom.
Think of the report as a family budget multiplied 1,700 times. Yes, it can be mind stretching. I am getting more
and more familiar with the complexities and needs and opportunities to serve ever faithful to Christ and I am not
alone in this discernment.
There are needs which are not yet addressed. We prioritize and plan and seek your support. Weekly
contributions are necessary to meet the day-in and day-out expenses of ministry and the support for these
ministries. Please consider the rising costs and continue to be generous. There are periodic and special
collections that are blessed by your generosity.
It is ill-advised for me to try and name every blessing of the last year. Here a few observations:
St. Vincent de Paul Bread For Life Food Pantry and Room in the Inn
Continued strengthening of our grade school as well as Montessori program
Religious Formation of all our Children
Sound system corrections in the Church and good hearing assistance devices
Opening of cemetery section for burials
I see that the transition to a new Pastor is a time to look anew at and forward to the opportunities and challenges
of ministry even as we remember the milestone of 200 years.
As I study again the history of our parish and our role as agents of the Gospels, I see the many adaptations made
by the faithful here. We are on a new frontier, not as new settlers, but as rooted trees giving life to new genera-
tions.
Please note the Christmas schedule on the back page of the Carpenter’s Journal.
Merry Christmas!

Financial Report - Fiscal Year July 1, 2015 - June 30, 2016
Sunday Collections were slightly lower than budget this year. The budget is based on the past 3-years history. These collections include only the weekly Sunday collection amounts and do not include any special collections. School Tuition & Fees - 2015/16 was a transition year from the Stewardship Model to the Tuition Model. To assist with the transition, the parish awarded $235,523 in financial assistance. Grants received included tuition assistance from the Catholic Education Foundation and the Archdiocese of Louisville. In addition, St. Vincent de Paul received grants from the Abbey of Gethsemani and United Way. Donations were received from many generous individuals. Donations were received to support St. Vincent de Paul, Cemetery Perpetual Care Fund, St. Joseph Elementary School, Bereavement, Haiti Mission Parish, the Parish Needy Fund and Building Fund. St. Vincent de Paul funds will be used for much needed capital improvements and future needs. The Mission Store de-pends on donations of items to resell to generate funds as well as numerous volunteers to help manage the store. These support shelter, clothing, medical and other needs for clients. Food is provided through the food pantry. Other Income included Parish Hall rentals, St. Vincent de Paul building rental income, Cemetery grave opening and closing and lot sales and School expense recoveries. Fundraising net income was generated from the Parish Super Raffle, Souper Bowl of Caring and St. Joseph School fundraisers.
INCOME - $3,910,542

In addition, the need for newer technology continues to rise. Parish Administration expenses includes the salaries and benefits for parish administrative staff. Other expenses include Church, Rectory and Office buildings expenses and maintenance. In addition, capital purchases included completing the renovations of the Church columns (funded by Building A Future of Hope) and the renovation of the Rectory porch and columns.

St. Vincent de Paul expenses included salaries and benefits for employees, client assistance, general building expenses and maintenance as well as capital expenditures related to the Bread For Life Food Pantry.

The Parish surplus provided support to St. Joseph Elementary School for Financial Assistance $235,523 and for their
portion of the Archdiocesan Assessment expense, $135,440. This was an internal transfer and was not reflected in the
financials.
