Saint Nicholas and Saint William Parish operates on a program year that begins on July 1 and ends on June 30. Our annual budget also runs from July to June. We are so very grateful to all who supported the work of our Parish over the past 12 months. Each year, however, the expenses involved in all our parish operations and programs increase, and as always, we depend on our parishioners to help meet these expenses.
We continue to compensate our parish staff commensurate to their dedication and professionalism, budget for a significant increase in our property, liability, and health insurance; provide funding for improvements to our parish buildings, renovate restrooms, repair roof, and create a new Reconciliation room at St. William Church; front office upgrades at St. Nicholas.
Our weekly Sunday Offertory goal will increase by 9% from $22,230 to $24,385. This is the amount we need each week to meet our financial responsibilities. We encourage you to prayerfully discern a 5-10% increase in your weekly or monthly donation.
