The financial situation of the Parish
Kraineem (29 May 2003)
By the Finance Council
The Parish Finance Council meets each month to review a wide range of
aspects dealing the financial management and running of the Parish.
In a parish the size of St Anthonys, it is important each month to
review the state of the finances, planned expenditure and major
infrastructure projects and their cost implications and whether the Parish
can actually afford to embark on new projects.
The council has in recent months been reviewing the cost and
implications of a number of potentially significant projects which would
improve the facilities at St Anthonys. These include fencing around the
grounds, especially by the river in front of the church, a possible extra
pathway to the church, and extra classroom space by way of “Portacabins”.
Some of these developments you hopefully will see happening over the summer
months.
In the case of parish income, a major steady source of income is the
monthly standing orders. Presently, just over 150 individuals or families
contribute by way of a standing order. This is a little low, relative to the
total numbers who come here every weekend. We would very much like to see
more people contributing in this way, so please consider this as a means of
support and, if necessary, talk to any of us on the Finance Council.
The Parish Fayre is a major income source for the Parish, so please
enjoy it and spend your money!
Current membership of the Council is: Liam Breslin (chair); Father
Vincent Galloley, John Fermoile, Yvonne Nielssen, Marc Quaghebeur, Julianna
Sodro, Nicole Smith, Johny Van den Bracht, Lindy Martin, Louise
Brenninkmeyer, Clementine George.
