This increase over plan was due primarily to additional income generated by the auction. Collections were lower than budget by 6% for the quarter, and 4% for the year. Q3 expenses of $370K were lower than planned expenses of $396K, primarily due to lower than planned salary and expenses for fewer employees, and reduced spending on facilities for one priest not yet relocated. Online giving continues to increase, with over 290 parishioners participating. You may sign up by clicking the online giving link on the Church website at parish.stsimon.org. For the School, income was 99% of budget, at $1,214k vs. $1,224k. Expenses for the third quarter were 5% lower than budget primarily due to lower than planned salaries and benefits. This resulted in the School showing third quarter net income of $147k vs. $100k budget. School year-to-date net income was $363K, about 13% over plan. Upcoming changes to Church and School financial reports Based on comments the Finance Council and parish staff have received regarding the Church and School finances, we believe that the current financial reporting format should provide a more comprehensive picture of the Church and School financial obligations and cash requirements. In particular, with the current financial reports, it may be difficult to see potential Church and School liabilities, and how we plan to pay for future commitments. After consulting with financial advisors and researching the approaches taken by other parishes, the Finance Council has recommended that St. Simon Church and School revise their financial reports to include an analysis of the reserves necessary to maintain the financial viability of the Church and School, and the status on meeting those reserve levels. The reserves fall into two broad categories. The first is an operating reserve to handle any contingencies that may occur, similar to the way an individual may set aside salary to handle potential emergencies. The second is a facilities reserve to pay for lar ge capital expenditur es to maintain the buildings as they age, such as r eplacing car peting, modernizing the plumbing and electrical infrastructure, upgrading computer networks, refurbishing air conditioning and heating systems, and renovating the roof. This September, the financial reports for the 2014-15 fiscal year will include an estimate of the recommended operating and facilities reserves for both the Church and School, and will outline the progress in meeting those reserves. Our hope is that by focusing on 1) the reserves needed to maintain the Church and School, and 2) how the reserves are being used each year, there will be a clearer understanding of the financial condition at the Church and School. We believe in transparency in the financial operations of St. Simon Church and School. Complete financial statements are available for your review in the parish office. If you have any questions, please contact any of the Parish Finance Council members.
