Archdiocesan Audit Report

The Archdiocese performs internal audits on every Church that it oversees.  There is a rotating schedule that has the auditors visiting each parish every 3 years.  This was the year for the auditors to visit St. Aloysius.   Overall our audit went well.  We wanted to share the report with the entire parish so everyone can be informed.  If you have any questions feel free to contact Dennis Blum at the parish office.

This is a fundraiser for the entire parish, not just the School.  The funds raised are divided equally between the parish, the School, Men’s Club, and Women’s Club.  Last year the portion given to the parish was used toward reducing the debt.  And the Men’s Club also used their portion to support debt reduction for the parish.   We want to encourage the entire parish to attend.  This is an event where everyone can come together as one community and have a great time.  A night out to suppport our parish community.

If you have any questions or would like to volunteer please contact Julie Reddington, juliejreddington@att.net

 

Unleashed Results

Recently, our parish conducted a feasibility study, Unleashed, to determine the awareness of the parish regarding our $2M debt and the willingness to conduct a capital campaign to quickly pay it off. Results were stunning!
*  The participation rate was one of the highest among parishes conducting similar studies.

*  The parishioners were overwhelmingly clear about their wishes—the debt must go.

Therefore, we’re launching a 3 year capital campaign to unleash this debt.

 

The study itself made clear many other important facts. While none of these are surprising, they underscore what makes St. Aloysius Catholic Church a uniquely wonderful parish.

*  Parishioners love St. Aloysius Parish.

*  Parishioners are proud of our excellent school

*  Parishioners believe we are a blessed parish with many resources

*  Parishioners believe our future will be as strong, if not stronger, than our past

*  Parishioners believe we have the resolve and resources to meet any challenge

 

The Together We Can Campaign Kick-Off Weekend is October 28/29. More information to follow in the upcoming weeks.
