FINANCIAL REPORT to the People of the Archdiocese of Washington | Fiscal Year 2019-20 | February 2021 My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ – t the center of our Christian life – and the life of this local Church – is how we care about and for one another. In both good and difficult times, the People of God boldly live in our communities as a light Aof hope and faith in service to those we daily encounter. One of my many great privileges, as your Archbishop, is to see up-close the good work that the men and women in our ministries, parishes, schools and programs do for others. They are the people who animate me, inspire me, and give me hope as they care for our spiritual family and our neighbors. This Financial Report presents but a small picture of this much larger and extraordinary story that plays out every day in real life, while also offering continued transparency and accountability of the stewardship of this local Church. This prudent use of funds received by the Archdiocese also regularly undergoes independent audits and multi-level reviews. More detailed information is available for review online at www.adw.org. The past several months of the public health emergency have been filled with the sorrows of physical and societal sickness, economic hardship, as well as the trials of social distancing. These realities have impressed upon us how very much we need one another. Although many of these matters were present before and will be a reality after the COVID-19 pandemic, through it all, our message and mission are the same. My heart is filled with tremendous gratitude to know that we have so many working to meet these challenges with love and hope. Let us move forward, as always, holding our families, friends, neighbors and nation in prayer. May God continue to bless you and those you love. Sincerely in Christ, Wilton Cardinal Gregory Archbishop of Washington The financial information in this report (except for information related to affiliated agencies on pages 4 and 5 and parishes and schools on page 8) is derived from June 30, 2020 audited financial statements, which are available at adw.org/ financial-reports.
