February 2012
From the desk of John Matyasik, Business Manager
- ·Handicapped Entrance – we are still in the process of seeking donations for the new handicapped entrance. Your continued support using the church renovation envelopes is appreciated.
- ·Parish Accounting – Mary Jane Tadda who has been our Financial Assistant for the past three plus years has resigned from this position to spend more time with her family. We appreciate all of the hard work Mary Jane put into the position. She helped us get over a big hurdle in converting to the new Parish Soft accounting software last year. All parishes in the diocese are converting to this web based accounting software. The accounting functions have been restructured with Donna Perlowski doing all of the bookkeeping for the school and Donna Cooper the bookkeeping for the parish. I am producing all of the month end statements and coordinating the budgeting process. The Finance Council is working on getting an accounting person to audit the books on a monthly basis.
- ·Snow Removal – what a difference a year makes. Now I don’t want to jinx us; so far this winter season our snow removal and salting costs are almost $10,500 under what we paid at this time last year.
- ·Live and Silent Auction – I hope to see you at the Annual Auction on February 25 at Montini High School. This year we honor Sister Pauline for her many years of service at our parish. This is always a fun-filled night with a chance to spend social time with our fellow parishioners.
- ·Slow Down – we have added new street cones in the driveway going to the back of the Social Center. Please watch your speed; children as well as adults walk through that area not paying attention to traffic coming through.
- ·Hymnal Memorials – there are still hymnals available for memorial donations. A $20 donation will give you a memorial nameplate added to the inside of a hymnal. This is a great way of remembering one of your loved ones. Memorials can be purchased at the Parish Office.
God’s Peace, John Matyasik
