Note from the Priests
Dear St. Paul Parishioners and Benefactors,
I am happy to share with you our financial report for the 2021 Fiscal Year. It was a year of remarkable
challenges and successes. We started the fiscal in June 2020, emerging from a shutdown of nearly three
months, and ended on June 30, 2021, with Masses back to full capacity. Throughout, we faced almost
constant uncertainty while renovating the parish basement and navigating ministry during a pandemic.
The dedication and financial commitment of our parishioners and benefactors, paired with prudent
cost-reduction measures, contributed to a year of relative
financial health and stability.
After an initial (and significant) drop in revenue tied to the Spring 2020 shutdown, our collections and
contributions, our primary sources of revenue, returned to pre-pandemic levels and have remained steady.
Additionally, the short-term challenges of that initial drop in revenue, paired with staff transitions, forced
us to come to terms with our demographic and financial realities. We saw an opportunity to build our
mission in sustainable and creative new ways.
We believe our mission-focused adjustments will have a long-term positive impact, especially our growing
campus ministry. Two of the changes we implemented were the collaboration with St. Charles in religious
education for children and a more flexible workforce through our Pastoral Intern program. We were able to
reduce overall costs while creating new (and exciting) opportunities for greater interaction between
resident and student communities.
To be sure, we still face some major challenges Variation in Donations and Collections across Fiscal Years

Expenses (7.1% reduction) Income (12.5% reduction)
October 3rd, 2021, 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Note from the Priests
Drop in revenue matched by a reduction of expenses. Last year, we saw a drop in both revenue and expenses
compared to the previous year. Our decrease in income came from several factors: lower Sunday collections,
the end of our Lilly Grant, lower donations and contributions, and less collected in fees. Apart from the Lilly
Grant, the drop in revenue was largely the result of decreased in-person Mass attendance, activities, and
donor visits.
The decrease in expenses was achieved mostly though reductions in salaries and benefits, as we did not
rehire certain positions and have moved towards a more flexible workforce. We also reduced hospitality and
program expenses because the combination of COVID protocols and the basement renovation limited what
we could do with campus ministry.
Remarkable Generosity. The generous response of our parishioners and benefactors was remarkable given
the realities of limited in-person participation at Mass and the inability of our development officers to meet
with benefactors in-person.
At the beginning of the last fiscal year, our Sunday collections were down nearly 20% to the previous year.
However, the last six months of the fiscal year saw a marked increase in the generosity of our parishioners.
Much of this was made possible when regular donors switched to online giving.
We actually exceeded our budgeted donations goal by 25%. Donations in the prior year were higher, howev-
er, this is because in the previous fiscal we received two large, unsolicited gifts totaling more than $80,000.
When we take that into consideration, the work of our development office to connect with parishioners and
benefactors and to exceed our budget is even more impressive.
Causes for Hope.
One of the biggest reasons we saw our Sunday collections return was a shift to electronic donations. We plan
to continue to move as many of our parishioners and benefactors to electronic giving as possible, because it
reduces variability.
Another reason for hope is our new Pastoral Intern Program. This program provides five, full-time employees
for our parish, especially for our campus ministry, at a minimal cost to because the interns are responsible for
fundraising some of their salaries. Lastly, more people are now willing to attend in-person meetings from our
development team. This enables Tom Recker and his assistant to provide greater care for and engagement
with our parishioners and benefactors. As a result, we are confident our development revenue will continue
to provide the funds necessary for maintaining and even building our ministry now and into the future.
