Monthly Financial Reports

What shall I return to the LORD for all his goodness to me? -- PSALM 116:2

God has blessed us all abundantly in St. Clare Parish. Even before our official establishment as a parish in July 2000, our parishioners recognized the goodness of God and started to give their tithes to the Lord for the future foundation of our parish. They have continued through many years to gave a share of what they have, back to the work of Christ among us. We can all be grateful for their generosity. Generosity is certainly measurable beyond the dollar amounts with the countless volunteer hours and hard work and long periods of prayer for the needs of our parish.

The reports below give a small overview of our financial status through several years.

One of the precepts of the Catholic Church indicates that every member must give financial support to the Church. Ultimately however, a donation is an act of the heart, the will. The sacrifices we make for the glory of God matter.

We have a very large number of parishioners who have unequal abilities to donate. Some can make large donations, but others have less to give. But everyone should give their regular tithe to the Lord, trusting that God's generosity far outweighs ours. God will provide for our needs as we place our trust in him.

Our Fiscal Years begin July 1st and end June 30th. The reports included here are all based on this time period.
