TWENTY-SIXTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
SEPTEMBER 26, 2010
Dear Friends,
Next week, I will be speaking at all the Masses giving my State of the Parish Address. We live in
challenging times and I hope that after hearing this address, you will better understand the challenges
that face us as a parish community.
The parish Finance Committee met in mid July. The result of the meeting was that we needed
to lower expenses and bring in more income (easier said than done!). Our collections are up a little
since Labor Day, but I will be discussing this issue more next week. I want you to know, in this letter,
the things we have cut back on:
Item/ Employee

2)
3)
4)
5)
6)
7)
8)
Monthly Savings
Loomis
Yellow Pages Ad
Alhambra Water
Calendars
Student Workers
Fr. Magat
Cook (cut hours
to 15 per week)
Housekeeper (cut hours
to 18 per week)
Annual Savings
$348.34
$103.00
$83.34
$1,742.14
$3,764.19

$ 45,170.28
$453.51
$5,442.12
$2,404.57
$28,854.84
On July 1st, when I became your Pastor, we were losing $15,000 a month. With these eight cutbacks, we are saving the parish $8,899 a month. We are still running in the red to the tune of $6,101
a month, but that's a lot better than the $15,000 we were losing just a couple of months ago.
You also need to know that the City has imposed a new tax on all unoccupied buildings. For
[OLÄYZ[[PTLL]LY^LHYLILPUNHZZLZZLKMVY[OL*VU]LU[;OPZ^HZHUL_WLUZL[OH[^HZUV[
budgeted for, but we still have to pay it. Easy come, easy go.
Next Sunday after the 9:30 Mass, we will have the blessing of the animals in honor of St. Francis
of Assisi. The animals I'm talking about are your pets, not your kids! Come to the blessing and receive

Thank You!

The sin of the rich man in today's parable was
not that he was rich, but that he failed to share
his wealth with the beggar at his gate. He knew
Lazarus, perhaps walked by him every time he
came in or out, but did nothing to relieve his
suffering. Is there a Lazarus in my life? What
am I doing to help him?
