The parish collection is approximately $162,000 vs. e operating budget of $197,000 resulting in a deficit of approximately $35,000. There has already been a cut to staff salary & elimination of staff Christmas bonus. The parish budget is an item of concern given e number of parishioners who have moved on to oer parishes during is reconstruction phase. Therefore, e Council addressed how to bring new members to St. Michael s. First, it was decided to replace e 4-page new parishioner registration form wi a ½ page form. The ushers will be tasked wi determining potential new parishioners and handing out is new form. Second, ere is a motion to send post cards via US Mail to households wiin e St. Michael s parish boundary. These postcards will cost approximately $0.20 each. Stan Burnham agreed to produce once e final card is approved to send.

6 ARCHBISHOP S CATHOLIC APPEAL JANUARY 30-31, 2016 ARCHDIOCESE OF PORTLAND IN OREGON A Message from Archbishop Sample Broers and Sisters in Christ: One ing we all have in common is at we were each were born into a family including myself! Family is basic and central to each of our lives. Pictured here are members of my family wi whom I try to spend as much quality time as possible. My moer, Joyce, lives wi me at my residence next to St. Mary s Caedral. She, and my beloved faer who died from cancer over 26 years ago, provided a loving home for me and my siblings as we were growing up over e years.

Marty is a retired school teacher after 34 years and now lives in Beaverton and Barb resides in Michigan and visits when she can. Oh, what wonderful times we have togeer! Thank you, Lord, for family.

It is an exciting, yet daunting, mission! The future of e Church, e future of our society and our culture in general, is very much wrapped up in what e future of e family is going to be.
