September 2021 Financial Report
An average of $18,000 in the collection is
needed weekly to meet projected
expenses.
What does this number mean?
St. Brendan Parish receives revenue from
several sources. To pay for projected
expenses, the weekly collection must
average $18,000. Revenue from other
sources, such as from bequests and special
one-time donations, grants, and tuition from
school families who are not parishioners, is
also needed in addition to the weekly
collection to meet regular operational
expenses.
If the weekly collection average is too low,
how are the bills paid?
So far, St. Brendan has been able to pay
bills despite a too-low weekly collection by
drawing from savings and by receiving
unexpected revenue (such as government
money for COVID-19). However, grants and
some special donations often cannot be
used for regular operational expenses.
Church Envelopes for this Fiscal Year
2021-22 are behind $50,824

RCIA meets on Sunday morning
after the 9:00 AM Mass, what is formally
known as the Rite of Christian Initiation for
Adults (RCIA). We have nicknamed it
Catholicism 101. It is an introduction to our
faith for those who are interested in learning
more about what it means to be a Catholic.
We will meet for an hour each Sunday. Here
are some of the topics which will be
discussed:
The History of Israel
The Old Testament and the Covenants
Introduction to the New Testament and
its Covenant
Prayer why do we need it
Conversation with God
Intro: to the Mass by Bishop Robert Barron
The Sacraments - Symbolon by the
Augustine Institute
Catholic Moral Vision
Catholic Social Teaching
The Eucharist by Bishop Barron
The Catechism
Church History
Each class involves a video of about 20
minutes in length, discussion questions and
reflection. For example: “It would be easier for
the world to survive without the sun than to do
without Holy Mass.” St. Padre Pio
Discussion: how can you more com-
pletely give yourself to Jesus at Mass?
If you know of someone who would be
interested, please give us their name
and permission to contact them, we
would be happy to follow up and visit
with them.
We need your prayers & your support.
God Bless! Vince Fuemmeler Deacon

SEPT. ADVERTISERS OF THE MONTH:
AUDRAIN VET CLINIC &

Our students participated in many acts of service to our community for Tyron Lue
Day of Service including cleaning up the Optimist Fields, preparing bags of food at
the YMCA, organizing materials at The Help Center, and creating cards for those in
the Veterans Home and area nursing homes. Gratefully giving of their time and
talents to care for others, they are great examples of stewardship. Thank you to
Melissa Buckman-Young for helping to organize everything and to all of our drivers
and chaperones!
