From Msgr. Frank Chiodo

Parishioners,

The diocese is undertaking an audit of every parish in the diocese. We have just completed our

diocesan audit—and have emerged with flying colors. The diocesan officials were here on

Thursday evening (Dec. 15th) for a meeting with us, and while there were a few recommenda-

tions, they applauded our business office, and our business manager, Mark Paris, for a job

well done. I thank Mark Paris for exercising with great care his fiduciary responsibilities for our

parish. Our financial statements are accurate and our internal control processes strong. The

finance council is entrusted with the responsibility of advising the pastor on financial matters, and as such works close-

ly with our business manager’s office. Along with our gratitude to our business manager, we thank our finance council

for their labors, and I assure St. Anthony parish, they can have every confidence in our stewardship of the finances and

material assets of our parish.

A special honor for our parish: our parish seminarian, Max Carsen, will be the lector at the Pope’s Mass in Vatican City

on January 1st. Check the EWTN television schedule for the Mass time. We are proud of Max. He is a seminarian at the

North American College in Rome.

Just a reminder that I will be away on sabbatical for Jan. and Feb. Fr. Gehler will be assisted by several priests while I

am away. I will remember you in my prayers—as always. Please keep me in yours. A sabbatical is given to a priest by

the Bishop as a means of personal and pastoral renewal for the priest. I am grateful to our Bishop for this privilege.

Blessings to all of you.
