Parish Council Report
The Parish Council met on December 5, 2024, at St. Matthew Church. Finance Council chairman Tom Milton provided an update on the parish's financial situation. The annual financial statement has not yet been finalized by the parish's accountant; it will be published when available. Fr. Crawford reported on the upcoming holiday events (Breakfast with Santa and the parish Christmas Concert), and a discussion on the success of the stocking stuffer raffle was had.
Parish Council members continued discussing ways to re-connect with fallen away parishioners. Finally, members of the council commented on the successful Advent presentation given by Fr. Rufus Kenny earlier in the week. The next parish council meeting is scheduled for January 16th. Parishioners are welcome to contact Fr. Crawford or Bryan Healy with any questions or concerns to address.
