Pastor & Finance Council Update
Pastor & Finance Council Update
November 30, 2025
In November 2025, St. Bartholomew’s stewardship budget was adjusted to reflect a more sustainable approach that aligns parish resources with actual operating needs, anticipates inflationary pressures, and incorporates shared costs. The budget increase of ~25% is needed to cover recurring costs and provide the foundation for long-term stability and growth. St. Bartholomew’s Finance Council has been actively involved in shaping this forward-looking plan. Thank you for your understanding and continued support. More details are available in the letters written by Fr. Henry and the finance council that were distributed on November 29-30, 2025, which are each linked below. As a reminder, Finance Council members are Tiffany Hanisch, Tom Kessinger, Bart Kohler, Kathy Marks, and Katie Siefker.
