Dear Parishioners, Below is the 2012 – 2013 Financial Report for Saint Anselm Parish and School. The previous three years are there as well for you to compare. By offering you – the worshipping, contributing members of the Church – this comparative report, I strive to keep you informed and knowledgeable about the parish’s operating income and expenses. I cannot thank enough our parishioners who contribute weekly or monthly and so generously to the support of the Parish. So let me thank you again. I am deeply grateful to each and every person who financially contributes to Saint Anselm Church. I am most grateful to the Finance Council (Elinor Leshinski, Rich Myslinski, Deacon Warner and Terry Grillo) for their counsel, insight, direction, and for helping the Parish have a balanced operating budget. Our records show that 2,872 families (8,373 parishioners) belong to Saint Anselm Parish. I ask that all parishioners maintain their level of contributions to the Church. If you can increase it weekly or occasionally, please do so. Thank you. Father Dunleavy
