A Financial Word From Fr. Jim Dear Parishioners, As 2020 comes to a close, I recognize the economic impact some of you are facing due to COVID-19. Likewise, our beloved Christ the King Parish has been negatively impacted financially as well. As your Shepherd, I am compelled to share with you where our beloved churches stand. Compared to 2019 Offertory ¨As of Nov. 30th, 2020, contributions are down by 15.78% - the equivalent of $41,087.00. ¨By Dec. 31st, 2020, the Parish will see a 22.43% drop in offertory - the equivalent of $68,703.00. (Based on 2020’s average monthly offertory) Please know I have done what I can to reduce costs, including furloughing employees. Like all of you, we still have bills to pay. In light of this substantial deficit, I offer each of you an invitation to significantly reduce this unfortunate loss by considering a year-end tax-deductible giftto Christ the King Parish. Thank youfor all that you do. In Christ’s Love, Fr. Jim
