On the weekend of July 16-17 the parish Finance Council will make a financial report to the parish.  In anticipation of that report we are making available financial information in the bulletin and on the website leading up to that report.  In the diocese of Oakland every parish pays two specific expenses to the diocese every month.  Each parish pays an assessment that supports the diocesan ministries and an insurance payment.  The assessment for Sacred Heart is $20,574 ($1,714 per month) and the insurance is $29,661 ($2,471 per month). Please keep this in mind as the parish re-evaluate its intake to better serve the needs of the parish and community.
