Dear Parishioners,

We are happy to provide you—inserted in this bulletin—with the Financial Statement of our Parish for 2024. This statement is a way of being accountable to you for your generous financial contributions to the Parish. Ultimately, it is your financial generosity that enables us to be efficient and continue our rich ministry and service.

Since we are talking about money, this is a great opportunity for me to thank all the members of the Parish for your continued support and financial generosity. In a particular way, I want to thank the members of our Parish Finance Committee: Stephen Fleury, the Chair of the Committee and Henry Lapar, Ian Cruickshank, Belinda Lau, Louie Barbon and Fr. Sojan, C.S.C. I am grateful to Henry Lapar, for his bookkeeping skills.  I also thank Delaila Paes, our Parish secretary, Chona Sto Tomas, our office assistant and all our part-time staff for their efforts to keep our Parish office running smoothly. I am very grateful too, to Rutchie De La Cruz, our custodian for his hard work in the maintenance of the Parish infrastructure. I would also like to acknowledge and thank the teams of our money counters, who faithfully record the offerings received at each Sunday Eucharist and our ushers who collect the money.  

As a Parish, we are blessed financially. As you will see in the statement, we had to spend a lot of money to strengthen our Church foundations, which was a corollary to the redoing of our hall kitchen. I am glad the project is completed. In the coming weeks, we hope to move forward with the exploration of the things we need to do in order to install air conditioning system in the Church. It could be an expensive project, but a worthwhile project. Please pray for the project to move forward.

In closing, I once again thank every member of the Parish for your commitment and generosity and encourage you to continue to be as generous as you can. If you are not already using our weekly envelopes, please pick up a box from the Parish office. We have also introducing the TipTap pay system that will allow parishioners and visitors to use your credit/debit cards to donate to the Parish. May God bless you all!

Fr. Vijai, C.S.C. ~ Pastor
