    2022 Annnual Report to Parishioners We are pleased to present the 2022 Annual Financial Report to the parishioners of St. Matthew Parish. This report reflects the fiscal year July 1, 2021 – June 30, 2022. Some highlights from the report: St. Matthew is pleased to offer online giving to easily provide the means for one-time as well as recurring gifts! billericacatholic.org/givenow This year St. Matthew Parish focused on stewardship in all aspects of parish life. We continue this into this coming year. Although our offertory increased in FY 2022, we continue to fall short meeting our monthly expenses. The FY2023 Budget shows a deficit. We need to increase revenue & contributions to balance our budget and pay our bills. FY2022 saw higher than normal increases in the cost of gas and electricity resulting in increased utility costs for the parish. Every effort is being made to monitor costs and expenses. If everyone could increase their monthly contribution by $360 a year ($30.00/month; $6.90 a week) we could bridge the gap in our budget deficit – balancing our budget for FY 2023!
