Interesting how many of these parishes have budgets that the pastor has used to show how well the parish is doing financially. No such information is provided in the bulletin for St. James, Belvidere.
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish was organized in 1978 and the new church was dedicated in 1982. A parish center was built in 2001 and the current building debt is from that construction. In 2007 the parish had 2,900 families. St. Elizabeth Ann Seton has no Catholic grade school but a Catholic grade school pre-3 through 8 is operated jointly with the other Crystal Lake Parish, St. Thomas the Apostle. St. Thomas the Apostle has 3400 parishioners as of 2007; it is the only church in Crystal Lake offering Masses in Spanish.
Based upon the bulletin, Sunday Offerings for the year at St. Elizabeth Seton are budgeted for $1,300,000 ($25,000 x 52 weeks) and at the current rate appear to be running more than $333,000 below budget. ($7,000 difference X 52 weeks = $364,000).
St. Thomas the Apostle’s September 11, 2011 bulletin indicates that the previous week’s were basically as budgeted.
St. Joseph is somewhat below on collections during the summer but appears to have several weekly collections above the budgeted weekly amount.
