St. Hedwig Church Financial Update
Dear St. Hedwig Parishioners: The following
accounting shows the basic income and
expenses of the parish for the month of

only shows what comes in as offertory on a
weekend, no donations or fundraiser money.
Conversely, it does not show every expense,
for example any maintenance or liturgical
expenses, just the normal things the parish
must pay for every month.

The bridesmaids in today’s gospel were considered

foolish. Pay attention to the small acts necessary to
keep the flame alive in all your relationships.
