PARISH GOALS Formula = Same as 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 The goal is based on Sunday, Holyday, Christmas and Easter Offertory Collections. Offertory Totals for each parish are added together for a grand total. The calculation is then made for each parish indicating what percentage the parish offertory is of the grand total. That percentage is applied to the overall Appeal goals. Information is taken from Annual Financial Report of the parish to the Diocesan Finance Office
PARISH REBATES If parish went over goal in 2013 and 2014 , rebate equals 85% of funds raised in excess of the parish goal. If parish went over goal in 2014 but not 2013 , rebate equals 80% of funds raised in excess of the parish goal. All other parishes going over goal will receive a 75% rebate Rebates issued: Second week of July 2015 and early January 2016 after calendar year is closed.
REPORTS TO THE PARISHES Each parish will receive a Donor List Report on a weekly basis beginning the week of February 23 through the week of April 13. The reports will be bi-weekly after that date. Reports will cease June 30. May request a parish donor report at any time. A Parish Summary by Fund will be included each Wednesday during the Appeal through the Diocesan Weekly Mailing “Nuntius”.
