PITTSBURGH — The diocese reported a surplus of $26,466 for fiscal 1990-91, the second straight year that It finished In the black. "We recognize that relative to a $16 million budget, this surplus is of the smallest proportion. Nonetheless, it represents good news, ’ said Bishop Donald W. Wuerl in an introductory letter to a special section on the financial report in this week’s Pittsburgh Catholic. "It indicates that the Diocese of Pitt­ sburgh, for the second consecutive year, has operated within Porn our means, and that the pattern of deficit spending which burdened us In the past has come to an end." In the “Home Again' Last fiscal year the diocese had a surplus of $ 157,857. For the I column, Connie Ann three fiscal years preceding that. It had deficits of $595,637.

Bishop Wuerl emphasized three other points in his letter ac­ companying the financial report including: • His gratitude "to the priests of the diocese for their leader­ ship and to all the faithful of the diocese for their truly inspiring generosity.” • The fact that there is no room for complacency despite the positive financial report. “There are many challenges to be met... Many of our parishes and schools face staggering finan­ cial problems, and the diocese must find ways to offer even more assistance in the future than it has in the past" • The commendation of “members of diocesan staff and Choice central administration whose diligence has resulted in the balanced budget.
