3 Dear Fellow St. Cletus Parishioners, The Finance Council is a consultave body whose purpose is to advise the pastor and assist him with his nancial responsibilies. The Council members are commied to understanding the state of the Parish’s nances so that we can work with Fr. Elmer Romero and the Parish sta to understand the needs of the Parish and help form long-range plans to ensure that the Parish can meet its responsibilies. Please take a look at the Balance Sheets, Statement of Revenue and Expenses, and Summary of the Parish Financial Report for the last scal year. We are pleased to note that both the Parish and the School had posive net operang incomes for the year. Just as importantly, we are pleased that the Parish has been able to do so while connuing and even expanding the important work of its ministries. Starng with our 2022 message, the Finance Council has regularly addressed the Parish’s debt to the Archdiocese stemming from the 2013 “To Teach Who Christ Is” fundraising campaign. In 2021 that debt stood at $675,000. In the past three years the Parish has made payments of nearly $160,000, including a $60,000 payment during the past year. Although the debt remains substanal, it does not accrue any interest or penales. The Finance Council connues to be cognizant of this obligaon, and is commied to assisng the Parish to fully sasfy it. 2023 saw the return of the Fall Fest, which was a great success. That success was repeated last month, thanks to the eorts of the Parish sta and the many, many volunteers. Parcular thanks go out to Sara and John Hodak, who have chaired the eort for more than two years. In addion to being a focal point for the Parish and the community, the Fall Fest raises important funds for the Parish and the school. The members of the Finance Council are grateful for the eorts of Deacon Franco Fo (Parish Operaons Director) and Jim Dion (Business Manager) for their eorts in compiling and preparing the nancial statements. We would also like to acknowledge their reless eorts to reduce Parish expenses while aending to necessary repairs and increased maintenance operaons across the Parish campus. As always, we ask for your connued support and prayers. Thank you, The St. Cletus Parish Finance Council Jonathan Andrews Doug Morrissey Tom Reisel Renee Callaghan Pay Morrissey Adriana Varela Jim Gorman Bob Persa John Vincent Please use this email nance@stcletusparish.com or call the Oce at 708-352-6209 with any quesons.

The Parish reduced this debt by $60,000, leaving a balance of $515,109.74. This debt is explained in more detail in the leer from the Finance Council included in this bullen. School Funding. In previous years the Parish has provided nancial support to the School. This past scal year, however, the School was nancially self-sucient. Due to the prot from the Fall Fest, cost savings in payroll and books and supplies, and fantasc fundraising eorts by students, parents, and supporters, the School had a net operang income of $82,569.69. Net Operang Income. The Parish nished the June 30, 2024, scal year with a net operang income of $214,598.13 (includes Food Pantry net income of $71,445.16). Investment Gains. The Parish’s investment accounts had a net unrealized gain of $38,423.40. The school’s investment account had a net unrealized gain of $59,628.30.
