Key Metrics
Revenue & Expenses Notes:
—Revenues primarily represent parishioner giving.
—Our parishioners give on various cycles - some prefer to give annually, and others prefer to give weekly, monthly, or quarterly.
—In 2024, we received several annual gifts in the first quarter.
—The third quarter of each year is typically the lowest quarter of giving due to summer travel and, generally, lower attendance.
—Expenses in the fourth quarter include transfers to restricted accounts for future capital needs and repairs.
