Our fiscal year covers from July 1, 2016 to June 30, We are delighted to report to you that we were able to cover all of our expenses, came up with a surplus, secured operating cash and investment in the bank, and reduced our Archdiocesan Liability. As a result, we are moving forward with great confidence rebuilding our parish. Our Statement of Activities reflects a net income of $42,730. Besides covering all of our expenses, we were fortunate to contribute $290,000 to the St. Barnabas Investment Pool as reflected in the Expense section. Our balance sheet reflects the operating cash of $435,954 and investment funds of $334,853. Our Archdiocesan Liability account was reduced from $618,751 to $509,858. Thanks to your continued generosity and the good will of our Sponsors and Anonymous Donors. Our Offertory Collections increased by almost 10% and allowed us to cover all of the Parish s operating expenses, in addition to allowing us to complete several projects, which had previously been delayed. We were also able to cover our annual Archdiocesan ASSETS Liabilities and Equity 06/30/ /30/2016 Current Assets $435,954 $610,083 Investment Fund $214,291 $102,312 Investment Building Fund $120,562 $17,782 Total Assets $770,807 $730,177 ========== ========== Liabilities Current Liabilities ($2,100) $2,932 Long Term Liabilities $509,858 $618,751 Total Liabilities $507,758 $621,683 Equity Retained Earnings $730,177 $312,606 Net Income $42,730 $414,639 Archdiocesan Liability Adjustment ($509,858) ($618,751) Total Equity $263,049 $108,494 Total Liabilities and Equity $770,807 $730,177 ========== ========== Assessment of $83,014 which increased from $58,231 over the previous year. While our expenses increased substantially, we were still able to cover them. Some of the larger expenses include the repairs and maintenance cost of $52,975 and church capital improvements of $93,752 that were put off last year. We were able to complete several construction projects that were previously budgeted, including the remodeling of the church restrooms and the Parish Hall Legacy Brick project. As you are aware, our parish facilities have been neglected for many years and the projects such as these couldn t be avoided. And, with your continued generosity, we hope to move forward with several planned projects during the coming years. Our church festival in October 2016 was able to make a net profit of $4,671 and continues to be a successful event which brought together many of our church communities. Our Legacy Brick initiative brought in a total of $60,736. The cost of our utilities was lowered by $2,654, due to the installation of a more efficient telephone system. This is the first year that we have been able to isolate the cost of the Religious Education Program for a total of $51,336. This has allowed us to lower the cost per student for Like us on Facebook! #stbarnabaslb Follow us on

7 March 11, 2018 all of our religious education programs. The unfunded Accumulated Archdiocesan Assessment which had a previous balance of $618,751 at June 30, 2016 has now been decreased to $509, 858. This amount is reflected in the Balance sheet as a long term liability and an off-set to equity. This is a reduction from the previous year in the amount of $108,893. If we continue on this path, we should be able to pay off the Accumulated Assessment within the next five years. The accumulated Assessment reflects multiple years of payments owed to the Archdiocese to pay for Parish insurance, Parish pensions, and Archdiocesan overhead which were previously neglected. We will continue with our fiduciary duty to help stabilize our finances and should be able to eventually wipe out our debt. Additional details on this Assessment will be discussed further at the upcoming town hall meeting to be held in the Parish hall on April 10, 2018 at 6:30pm. We carefully managed our expenses over the past year. With your support, we will continue to work towards a positive path that will make our Parish more sustainable and strengthen our faith community, while allowing us to retire the debt which we have been battling for more than 15 years. We are confident that the future of St. Barnabas is bright. Thanks for all of your prayerful and generous support. We, the Priests, Staff, Finance Council and Pastoral Council are deeply grateful for your continued love, support and generosity to our Parish. May God Bless you all.

On a hot and dry Sunday, the pastor told his Catholic congregation, There isn't anything that will save us except to pray for rain. Go home, pray, believe, and come back next Sunday ready to thank God for sending rain. The people did as they were told and returned to church the following Sunday. But as soon as the priest saw them, he was furious. We can't worship today. You do not yet believe, he said. But they protested, We prayed, and we do believe. Then where are your umbrellas?
