Parishs received a modest rebate on clergy benefi t premiums in April. In reviewing diocesan fi nances for the fi scal year 2009, the Finance Committee noted the clergy benefi ts plan enjoyed a surplus position, thanks to minor premium increases and a lower than expected number of participants. The surplus was signifi cant enough that the committee authorized the rebate to parishes that paid into the fund in 2009. Parishes with two clergy on staff will receive a double rebate. Rebates for parishes that paid in at a lower rate, or for less than the full year, will be prorated accordingly. “In every case the rebate is $300 or more,” says Finance Committee chair Gerry McConaghy. Most parishes in this diocese participate in the benefi ts plan. Clergy participants each pay 36 per cent of the pre- mium. Parish participants, as employers, share the costs of the employers’ premiums. At the beginning of each year the employer share is estimated according to projected costs and participant numbers.

Early last winter 25 layreaders gathered at St. Mary’s Church in Miramichi for a day of teaching and fellow- ship. They led Morning Prayer and the music at the beginning of the day, then participated in two work- shops: Prayers of the People with the Rev. Rod Black of Bathurst; and Personal Prayer with layreader Gina Quann. When the day was over the layreaders left inspired and refreshed by the Holy Spirit and already looking forward to next year’s sessions.
