		Highlights of the 2010/2011 Diocesan Operating Budget The Diocesan Finance Council, at its meeting on June 28th , recommended approval of the Diocesan Operating Budget for the 2010/2011 fiscal year, which began July 1, 2010. Bishop Finn subsequently accepted the recommendation. The review and approval of this balanced budget by the Finance Council is one of the two primary responsibilities of a Diocesan Finance Council (the other being the review of the annual audit) that are stipulated in Canon Law; thus, it is an extremely important responsibility. Equally important is the responsibility of Bishop Finn, his advisors and staff to present to the people of our Diocese the contents of our annual budget in that it is funded largely from your direct contributions through the Bishop’s Annual Appeal and, indirectly, through an assessment of contributions made at the parish level.

It is in this spirit of disclosure and financial accountability that we present here information regarding the 2010/2011 Diocesan Operating Budget. View entire story...
