I s(iil»lisli«‘|>.i|H r in ( milimioto t'uhlu alimi Special Supplement Friday, January 11. 1991 Financial Report of the Diocese of Pittsburgh

Dear Friends in Christ: In the gospel parables, we read that Jesus commended those ser­ vants who were faithful and wise stewards of material goods that had been entrusted to their care. In that same spirit, the people of the Pittsburgh Diocese can be justly proud of their stewardship as reflected in the Annual Financial Report of the Diocese of Pitt­ sburgh for the 1989-90 fiscal year. The audited report which is being presented to you at this time in­ dicates that in the 1989-90 fiscal year, the Diocese of Pittsburgh operated at a surplus of $157,857. While this is a very small surplus, in fact only one percent of the total expenditures of the diocese, it is very welcome news, especially in light of debilitating deficits which have burdened the diocese for several years. Many people are to be commended for their part in producing this brighter financial picture. First of all, 1 am deeply grateful to all the faithful of the Pittsburgh Diocese who have generously and con­ sistently supported the work of the Church of Pittsburgh with their financial contributions. May Almighty God reward your goodness. Likewise, I commend our diocesan employees who work so effec­ tively for the Church and share willingly of their time and talent. I am grateful to the priests, religious and laypersons who serve in a multitude of diocesan programs and ministries. The members of the central administration of the diocese also deserve great credit for their diligence in producing a careful and balanced budget. And, of course, we give thanks and praise to Almighty God who is the ultimate source of all the gifts and blessings we share. In presenting this annual financial report, I invite you to look beyond the numbers themselves and see the thousands of people who benefit from the work of the Church. Indeed, each line of the financial report represents a program of ministry that directly serves the needs of very real people who live throughout the six counties of the Pittsburgh Diocese. For example, think of the children and young people who learn about Jesus Christ in our Catholic schools*and in other programs of religious education. See the faces of the disabled who are assisted Bishop Donald W. Wuerl visits at St. Anthony School for Exceptional Children by diocesan services, and count the adults who eagerly participate with Billy Gubanlc and Jessica Carpon. in programs of spiritual enrichment. us. In reviewing the financial report, you will notice that our financial While we are pleased by the good news contained in this year’s resources provide support for our seminarians, for our retired report, we also recognize that we must continue to be very careful priests and religious, and for the chaplains who minister in our in the use of our financial resources.

Faithfully in Christ, My sisters and brothers, in these ways and in many others, the Diocese of Pittsburgh is carrying out the work of the universal Church. This is how we are called to serve in our little corner of God’s kingdom, and our service is made possible by the prudent Bishop of Pittsburgh and effective use of the material resources which the Lord has given IH» Page 2 — Pittsburgh Catholic Special Supplement Friday.
