2014 Stewardship Report
My Dear Parishioners:
I would like to share our latest Stewardship Report, prepared by the Finance Council, providing comparison
information for the past two fiscal
years. This information will also be
available on our Parish website and
more detailed reporting may be obtained from the Office.
Do I seek to meet and know my fellow parishioners? (Do we greet our fellow parishioners and
visitors?)
Do I enthusiastically invite others to participate in
our parish celebrations and events? (Let’s
share!)
Do I joyfully volunteer at and promote our Parish
Fundraisers and Events? (Great opportunity to
get to know one another!)
Have I signed up for Online Giving (see Bulletin)
which helps assure the parish of steady income
and greatly reduces weekly costs of processing
collections? (Did you know it takes approximately 4 people 3-4 hours weekly to count and
prepare the collections? Online giving collections happen automatically and do not require
all this time and processing plus we eliminate
envelope printing costs and save paper overall.)
Can I help the parish build up reserves by contributing $3-5 more per week? (Can I give a little
more to help compensate for those families or
individuals who are struggling and who cannot
afford $5 more per week?)
As you will see, there was quite an increase in our income due to a couple of very kind, generous Parishioners who lived frugally and remembered MHR in
their Wills (shown as “Estates & Trusts” on Report).
This enabled us to pay off our APA loan early in the
2015 Fiscal year as well as to make the tremendous
improvements to our Parish Center. These expenses
will be reflected in our next Annual Report as they are
primarily fiscal year 2015 expenses. In addition to
these generous bequests, we also were very blessed by
some Parishioners who gave most generously of their
time and talent during the Parish Center renovation.
All this kindness resulted in making the Parish Center
a much more lovely place for our Parish events, but
also makes it more attractive as a place to be rented
My dear brothers and sisters, I remain thankful for all

generosity. Just like any family, we all are unique and
have been blessed with many different God-given
gifts of time, talent and treasure to share. As I did last
year, I encourage us all to prayerfully reflect on how
we are giving back to God a portion of our many gifts
from Him of time, talent and treasure. Perhaps these
same questions can inspire in each of us concrete
ways to love and serve God and others even better in
2015:

Parish Finance & Stewardship Report
Time, Talent, and Treasure
Some 2014 Highlights
We continue to have many wonderful opportunities for spiritual and faith formation through a variety
of groups and ministries. All the parishioners who serve and participate in these groups provide
beautiful examples of time and talent stewardship and we are deeply grateful for them and their generosity!
Many groups had various events which helped build community (and often funds as well)! There
were retreats, breakfasts, dinners, dances, bake sales…and more. Of course, we cannot forget our
famous Fall Festival! Once again, that hard-working, dedicated team pulled off a successful event
which brought in approximately $34,000 (this was October 2013, the 2014 income will be shown in
our 2015 Fiscal Year report).

Parish Information
The Seder Meal, what is it? Christians and Jews share a story, an experience of God working in our
lives. Many Christians celebrate the Passover Meal (Seder), each year. It is a celebration dinner in
which we recall the Lord’s action in our life. Our celebration is based on a program prepared by the
Archdiocese of Chicago and the Jewish Anti-Defamation League.
All parishioners are invited. Please call the parish office (813-933-2859) to let us know your name
and the number of people attending so we can provide appropriate materials.
Each family should bring a covered dish to share and contribute $1 per person for incidental expenses.
Hope you can join in this celebration. Monday, March 23, 2015 in the parish hall beginning at 6:30 pm. Dinner will be
served at approximately 7 pm. Hope you can join us.
