THE BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST
Picture
Dear family,

This weekend, we celebrate one of the most sacred feasts of the Church year -- Corpus Christi, which means the "Body of Christ" in Latin.  On this special day, we give thanks for the greatest gift Jesus left us:  his true presence in the Eucharist.

Corpus Christi invites us to deepen our reverence each time we receive Holy Communion.  We are not simply taking part in a ritual or a symbol of what Jesus did in the past.  We are at this Eucharist receiving Christ Jesus himself.  As we approach the altar this weekend, take a moment to prepare your heart.  Give thanks.  Receive with faith.  And carry Christ with you into the world when Mass is over.

Our Lord teaches us, "I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst" (John 6:35).
A LOOK AT FINANCES:  ST. PAUL THE APOSTLE
Good stewardship begins with transparency. We have shared financial data from each of our parishes, spotlighting one parish at a time. We hope that this information helps you, our dear family, better understand how your generosity sustains the life and mission of our community.

​Each table will show several years of data so that trends become visible -- not just where we are, but where we have been. The two key measures we will highlight are total income, of which offertory is by far the largest component, and total expenses, the biggest drivers of which are salaries and benefits, building insurance, and building utilities and maintenance. These are the real costs of keeping a parish alive and active. For all parishes, you will notice a steep increase in the last few years in the expenses involved in maintaining buildings and all insurances.

In the May 17, 2026 bulletin, we began with St. Adalbert. Last weekend, we highlighted Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, and this weekend, we turn to St. Paul the Apostle. As you review the numbers, a few things stand out. Offertory giving has remained remarkably steady over the fiscal years shown, hovering around the $300,000 mark through most of the period. This is a sign of consistent and faithful generosity from St. Paul's family. Total income in 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 was notably higher than in surrounding years, reflecting significant sources of revenue beyond regular offerings in those years. On the expense side, utilities, maintenance, and insurance costs have climbed over time, a reflection of the same pressures many households have felt. One example to note:  St. Paul the Apostle Parish pays $44,679 in this fiscal year (July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026) for building insurance.

What do the figures reveal to you?  Your giving makes all our work in Christ possible. Thank you.

God's peace,

Fr. Frisoni
