ANNUAL PARISH STEWARDSHIP RENEWAL:
Thanks again for your wonderful response to
Parish Stewardship needs over the past two years. You have responded generously
and in doing so, we have experienced balanced budgets over the past two fiscal
years, 2005/06 and 2006/07. May I once again ask for your generous spirit as a
faith community in assuming active ownership in underwriting the cost of our
mission to be a great parish, a solvent parish, and a parish that takes
seriously our mission to assist all in their search to Seek Christ, Know Christ,
and Become Christ, each one for the sake of all! St. Dominic, pray for us.
God bless you,

Renewal of active parish membership

Praying for God’s blessings upon all ministry taking place at St. Dominic’s

-
An increased financial commitment for 2008
What are the 2007 financial results?
-
In 2007, Parish leaders asked parishioners to increase
annual envelope giving by 6%, approximately $95,000. We are pleased to
communicate these goals have been met and your generosity has led to
financial stability in the current year.
What are the 2008 financial goals?
-
Parish leaders are requesting an increase in annual
envelope giving of 6.5%, approximately $108,000. As we follow the
success of the 2007 appeal and work together to be the best parish we
can possibly be, this Stewardship Appeal will strengthen the overall
financial health and the stability of the mission and ministries of our
parish. May our base of faithful, committed stewards continue to grow in
the faith community of St. Dominic!
How will increased giving strengthen St. Dominic’s ministry?
The additional $108,000 in giving will assist us in:
-
Salary and Benefits ($83,000) – We wish to continue our
commitment to fairness in compensation and benefits for all
parish/school staff members.
-
Maintenance Equipment–- ($15,000) -- The parish is in immediate need to
replace grass cutting equipment for parish grounds/property and floor care
equipment for buildings on our parish campus. Some additional costs in
utilities are being anticipated.

Technology/Website –($10,000) – We wish to continue to improve
the parish/school website and our technological capabilities to make
interactive communication a routine possibility for parishioners.

envelope
giving?

In order to meet the parish goal of increasing giving for
2008 by 6.5% or $108,000, we are asking members to prayerfully consider
