2018 STEWARDSHIP REPORT 1055 N. Silvery Lane Dearborn, MI 48128 313-277-3110 rectory office www.DivineChild.org Dearborn, Michigan A MESSAGE FROM OUR PASTOR Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Last year we published our first Stewardship Report, providing transparency of our parish finances while highlighting how our God-given gifts of time, talent and treasure can be shared to glorify the Father. It is exciting to see how the Grace of God works through so many to build up our parish and bring the Good News, the Gospel of Jesus Christ, to so many people. We feel it is important that we convey this financial information to you, in hopes of helping you see where our monies are used. We live in a culture that doesn’t always value sacrifices or appreciate how everyone working together helps to keep us strong. Investing in God’s Church shows we understand the value of bringing more people to the Lord. The Church fiscal year always ends on June 30. It will also end my time as your pastor. For twelve years the Finance Council and I strived to steer our parish to financial stability. Not only have we been financially stable for many years, but we are very healthy for the upcoming year, and for years to come. We made plans to ensure financial security for the unpredictability of the times. Slumps, recessions and unexpected calamities can create a great hardship on resources. I assure you that our facilities and our financial viability will take the parish into the future with security. I do not say absolute security because in the end, all is in the hands of God - where the ultimate trust and providential care resides. What I can say is that your generosity, trust and confidence with your financial support is a true gift of God. I humbly thank you for sharing your treasure, along with your time and talent. As I move on to a new assignment please know that I take you with me in my heart. Your kindness, care, thoughtfulness and confidence in me, your Shepherd, will bless the rest of my life with goodness. Thank you. With God’s Blessings, Fr. Jim Bilot 2 2018 DIVINE CHILD STEWARDSHIP REPORT PARISH CONTRIBUTIONS We are blessed with a parish of over 2,100 families who come together to fulfill our mission to bring people to the Lord and answer the call to holiness. For almost 70 years we have remained a strong and stable parish, thriving, growing and evangelizing our community through the witness our remarkable families and students provide to others. Your financial contributions to our parish not only support the greater mission of the Church, but make our schools, facilities and community stronger. Thank you for your generous support and faith.
