Straub, Chancellor Chancellor and Chief Financial Officer We are pleased to offer this comprehensive Central Ministries Budget Report for Fiscal 2014 which began on July 1, 2013 and ends June 30, 2014. Central Ministries makes up most of the activities at the Pastoral Center as well as activities in the field by hospital chaplains, campus ministers, regional bishops, etc. Supporting the Archdiocese of Boston is challenging in many ways and hopefully this report will convey the ongoing good work that is done by our dedicated employees. Central Ministries operates within Central Operations which is one of four parts of the Corporation Sole along with Parishes, Self-Insurance and Endowment Funds. The Corporation Sole audited financial statements are part of the annual Archdiocese of Boston Financial Report released each year. This budget report is for the purpose of reviewing the operating budget of Central Ministries only. Fiscal 2014 revenues are planned to be in line with expenses continuing the trend for the past several years. Some stabilization has occurred but given the unpredictable future of the economy, the fiscal environment remains challenging. Progress has been made in planning and implementing the church structure of the future including: • Disciples in Mission - Planning and initiating parish collaboratives • New tithe model between parishes and the Archdiocese • New fundraising model for the Catholic Appeal introduced giving parishes a more robust rebate for being over their goal Central Ministries is now more proactive and planning-oriented and less reactive and crisis-driven. This is a welcome change and is a tribute to everyone on the Central Ministries team operating with fewer resources and staff than a few years ago, and to the parishes themselves who are working to improve their business administrative capabilities. These are encouraging signs. Yet the next few years will present great challenges with fewer Priests available and many being moved to new assignments with greater responsibilities. Our local parishioners will be learning to deal with new parish structures that are common in most parts of the country, but which are new in the Boston area. Meanwhile, there is a need for a greater financial commitment by local area Catholics to their parishes and the Archdiocese to sustain the Church presence that everyone has come to know and love in our greater Boston Archdiocese. Parishes eagerly welcome your time and talent in the future. Culture change is difficult, and our Central Ministries team will remain highly supportive of our Clergy, Religious and parishioners while implementing these changes. We appreciate your support and will continue our mission of serving and guiding to accomplish the Mission of the Church in our region. - 1 - Amesbury Salisbury Merrimac Newburyport West Newbury The Archdiocese Haverhill Newbury of Boston Methuen Groveland getown Rowley Geor Lawrence Dunstable Dracut Boxford Ipswich Pepperell North Rockpor Ashby Townsend Andover Andover t Tyngsborough Lowell Topsfield Hamilton Essex Groton Tewksbury Middleton loucester Wenham G Chelmsford North Westford Manchester Reading Danvers Shirley Beverly Ayer Billerica Wilmington Reading Littleton Carlisle Lynnfield Peabody W akefield Salem Marblehead Bedford Burlington Boxborough Acton Woburn Saugus Lynn Concord Stoneham Swampscott nchester Melrose Lexington Wi Stow Medford Malden Maynard Lincoln Arlington Revere Nahant t Belm Somerville ont Everet Hudson Waltham Cam Sudbury Watertown bridge Winthrop Chelsea Marlborough ayland Weston W Brighton Newton e Cathedral of the Holy Cross lin (Oldest Parish c. 1788) Brook Framingham Boston Pastoral ellesley Hull W Center Natick Needham C ohasset Ashland Dedham Milton Quincy Dover Sherborn e e h Hopkinton Westwood tr Hingham Brain Scituate Randolph Holliston Norwood eymout Millis Canton W Norwell ok Medfield Rockland ro Medway lb o Walpole H Avon Abington Hanover Marshfield Norfolk Sharon Stoughton Franklin Brockton Whitman Pembroke Hanson m a East Duxbury Bellingham renth Foxborough W West Bridgewater e Bridgewater Saint Plainvill Halifax Kingston Bonaventure (New Church Building Bridgewater Plympton Opening in 2014) Central Region Middleborough Plymouth Merrimack Region Carver North Region Lakeville South Region Rochester West Region - 2 - Making-up the Archdiocese of Boston within this large geographical region: • 144 cities and towns across the region. • 288 parishes, that over the next 7 years will be organized into approximately 134 collaboratives. • 119 Catholic schools in K through 12, including 35 operated by religious orders and private groups, 20 are Archdiocesan affiliates and 64 are operated by parishes. • Approximately 114,000 students enrolled in religious education. • 65 cemeteries, including 25 operated by the Catholic Cemetery Association and 41 operated by individual parishes. • 2 major seminaries. • 45 religious orders of men and 49 religious orders of women who operate certain parishes, schools, monasteries and social services. • 60-plus related organizations.
