Doers of the Word.

Sunday, August 9

The Rooster that always Crows!

The year was 2005. Journalists from the “Boston Globe” had been investigating the scandal for a few years. The film industry got a hold of the investigation and made a movie, Spotlight. The scarlet letter was branded on the Catholic Church and the rooster is still crowing.

Pastors continued preaching the Gospel message about the Apostles who spread the good Word the first century of the Christian era. The stories are familiar. One of them denied Jesus three times, another betrayed Him, another would not believe in him, and two boasted they would always be at his right and left but did not show up at Calvary where Jesus had to settle for two thieves. Three of them slept in the garden when they should have comforted Him, and all of them fled and left Jesus in the lurch when he needed them most. All this dirty laundry the early Church hung out for all to see.

None of this stopped the Apostles. They regrouped and went back to Jesus. The resurrected Jesus changed them totally and wound up giving their lives for him.

So where are we today? Some of the Catholic Church’s activities today:

One out of six Americans gets their health care from a Catholic institution.

One out of five Americans living in poverty is served by Catholic charities.

Catholic schools are the largest providers of private K-to-12 education in a country with more than 2 million students and the largest provider of private higher education enrolling more than one million students.

National Catholic graduation rate is 99.4% of high school students, 84.9% go to college. Compared to 39.5% of public-school graduates.

Catholic Church is the largest settler of refugees in the country.

Catholic Relief Services serves nearly 100 million people in need in 93 countries.

St. Vincent de Paul serves over 14 million people in need in the US each year.

(statistics from article in America magazine, Nov. 2, 2015, “Strategic Opportunities” by Dennis H. Holtschnedier.)

So let the rooster crow, the rest of us will continue touching elbows with the Apostles holding up the banner, “Ecclesia semper reformanda.” (“The Church always in need of reform.”)

OLM Finance Council Message Hello, my name is Tom Botts. I’m Chairman of the Finance Council for Our Lady of the Mountains Parish. Father Lucas has asked me to give a brief update on our finances here at OLM. Many of you have expressed an interest in knowing how the parish finances are doing during this time of COVID19. As most of you know, Masses were suspended across the State on March 17th and started back up with very limited attendance in mid May. The lack of regular collections during the COVID shutdown had the potential to really hurt the ongoing operation of OLM. Father Lucas, along with the members of the Finance Council have worked hard to secure income, reduce expenses and do everything we can to keep OLM going. Some of the actions we’ve taken include: Through the Federal Cares Act, we secured a PPP loan which we will ensure is forgiven We made direct mailings to parishioners asking for financial help, which many of you generously responded to We’ve stressed the importance of online giving and bank bill pay as well as mail-in envelopes We’ve been able to decrease Parish expenses without cutting staff We have a stronger social media presence on things like Facebook, Instagram and YouTube as well as redesigning the

Parish website to better fit the new normal As a result, we are pleased to report our income for 2019-2020 fiscal year (which just ended at the end of June) was 97% of budget and our expenses were 86% of budget. Our annual budget is around $690,000. The first 8 months of the fiscal year were strong. So we did pretty well despite having weekly collections significantly down the past 3 or 4 months. A big help has come from individual parishioners who have stepped up to help out in this difficult time. But we’ll potentially have a big problem going forward with very low Mass attendance. I strongly encourage you to consider online giving or bank bill pay. Instructions to do online giving are on the OLMcatholic.org website. If you’re a visual learner, there’s even an instructional video on the parish website—it’s very easy to set up. And of course, we will continue to rely on the generosity of parishioners to support us through this difficult time. The Finance Council promises to do our part by controlling expenses and keeping a close eye monitoring the financial situation. On behalf of Father Lucas and the Finance Council, we sincerely thank all who have spiritually committed their financial support by giving at Mass, online, or direct mail. And we continue to pray for those who cannot give due to COVID or another hardship. If you have any specific questions about our financial condition, please feel free to speak to me or any member of the Finance Council. The other Finance Council Members are Brett Kroger, Bill Best, Diana Waycott, Tote Turner and Deacon Doug. Thank you and God Bless.

Mensaje del Consejo de Finanzas de OLM Hola, mi nombre es Tom Botts. Soy presidente del Consejo de Finanzas de la Parroquia de Nuestra Señora de las Montañas. El padre Lucas me ha pedido que haga una breve actualización de nuestras finanzas aquí en OLM. Muchos de ustedes han expresado su interés en saber cómo van las finanzas de la parroquia durante este tiempo de COVID19. Como la mayoría de ustedes saben, las misas se suspendieron en todo el estado el 17 de marzo y comenzaron a respaldar con una asistencia muy limitada a mediados de mayo. La falta de colecciones regulares durante el cierre de COVID tenía el potencial de dañar realmente la operación en curso de OLM. El padre Lucas, junto con los miembros del Consejo de Finanzas, han trabajado arduamente para asegurar ingresos, reducir gastos y hacer todo lo posible para que OLM continúe. Algunas de las acciones que hemos tomado incluyen: A través de la Ley Federal de Cuidados, aseguramos un préstamo PPP que nos aseguraremos de que se perdone Hicimos envíos directos a los feligreses pidiendo ayuda financiera, a lo que muchos de ustedes respondieron

generosamente Hemos enfatizado la importancia de las donaciones en línea y el pago de facturas bancarias, así como los sobres por

correo Hemos podido reducir los gastos de la parroquia sin recortar personal Tenemos una presencia más fuerte en las redes sociales en cosas como Facebook, Instagram y YouTube, así como

rediseño del sitio web de la parroquia para adaptarse mejor a la nueva normalidad. Como resultado, nos complace informar que nuestros ingresos para el año fiscal 2019-2020 (que acaba de finalizar a fines de junio) fueron del 97% del presupuesto y nuestros gastos fueron del 86% del presupuesto. Nuestro presupuesto anual es de alrededor de $ 690,000. Los primeros 8 meses del año fiscal fueron fuertes. Así que lo hicimos bastante bien a pesar de tener colecciones semanales significativamente bajas en los últimos 3 o 4 meses. Se ha recibido una gran ayuda de feligreses individuales que han ayudado en este momento difícil. Pero potencialmente tendremos un gran problema en el futuro con muy poca asistencia a misa. Le recomiendo que considere dar en línea o pagar cuentas bancarias. Las instrucciones para hacer donaciones en línea se encuentran en el sitio web OLMcatholic.org. Si eres un estudiante visual, incluso hay un video instructivo en el sitio web de la parroquia, es muy fácil de configurar. Y, por supuesto, continuaremos confiando en la generosidad de los feligreses para que nos apoyen en este momento difícil. El Consejo de Finanzas promete hacer nuestra parte controlando los gastos y vigilando de cerca la situación financiera. En nombre del Padre Lucas y el Consejo de Finanzas, agradecemos sinceramente a todos los que han comprometido espiritualmente su apoyo financiero mediante donaciones en misa, en línea o por correo directo. Y seguimos orando por aquellos que no pueden dar debido a COVID u otras dificultades. Si tiene alguna pregunta específica sobre nuestra situación financiera, no dude en hablar conmigo o con cualquier miembro del Consejo de Finanzas. Los otros miembros del Consejo de Finanzas son Brett Kroger, Bill Best, Diana Waycott, Tote Turner y Deacon Doug. Gracias y Dios te bendiga.
