5 – Coronavirus Update
Fr. Dan
Donations are down
One week we more than doubled the needed collection
Past week’s offertory was $17K out of budget of $46K
Applied for PPP loan and it was approved
School: $565K; Church: $139K – forgivable loans
Expect 20% drop of 400 students from MQ
Scott King (tentative budget)
Finance council meeting every two weeks
Tough to budget in this environment
Fr. Dan
Present need for financial assistance for school – larger parish donation
Subsidize school about $2K/student
Scott
Parish support has not been increased to school in five years
School is in a more dire cash flow situation than parish
Six months operating expenses for parish in house – before PPP loan
Fr. Dan
Do we use some of our parish operating expenses to help the needy in this crisis?
Work through Catholic Charities so families do not double dip
Scott
School has a little under a month of cash on hand
Kids will not drop out still school ends – tuition ends in May
Start making tuition payments in June for following year – that’s when we’ll get a real feel for who is coming back
PPP covers about 2.5 months of school payroll
Pay teachers on current contract though end of July even though tuition ends in May
Always creates a cash crunch this time of year
Diocesan-wide best practices for schools?
Fr. Dan
All part time hourly employees have been furloughed
More of a collaborative process going forward for school, but have to figure that out based on PPP coming through
Tuition rates to diocese in Feb and was up 3%
No action will be taken until there is a finalized budget in front of PPC
PPC consensus recommendation will be to support the mission of the parish school first and foremost
6 - Stewardship Update
180 fewer treasury commitments compared to last year – no further analysis yet
Good stewardship letter that went out to parishioners
7 – Scheduling of committee reports/finalizing dates for PPC through 2020
Finance committee scheduled to present draft budget at May meeting
May need a June meeting if after a first look at the budget the PPC feels it needs further review in order to have a completed budget in place for July 1
8 - Fr. Aldrin – closing prayer
