Dear Parishioners:

The accompanying statements represent the financial condition of The Catholic Parishes of Arlington (CPARL) for the year ending June 30th, 2025 and the budget for fiscal 2026. This annual report is presented by the Parish Finance Councils which provide financial 
oversight and advice to our Pastor on money matters. We hope that they will help you understand how your contributions and gifts to CPARL are used and accounted for at each parish and will encourage your continued generosity. Please feel confident that financial stewardship is very much a priority of our Collaborative. 

Saint Agnes Parish ended the 2025 fiscal year with net operating income of $235,796. This was the result of very generous bequests received during the year and significant gains from our investments, even though the Offertory Collection was lower than the 
previous year. Reserves (including cash, investments, and money due to us) grew to $1,474,763, providing the parish with further financial stability.

Saint Camillus Parish ended the 2025 fiscal year with net operating income of $30,369. Sustained Offertory Receipts and Rental Income as well as strong support of the Grand Annual appeal helped the parish maintain a positive operating cash flow. Reserves (including cash, investments, and money due to us) held steady at $825,878. 

Each parish was able to control its operating expenses through more efficient management and better allocation of central expenses among our Collaborative parish entities. In addition, several necessary capital improvement projects were also completed at both 
parishes.

At Saint Agnes, significant repairs were made to the Church steeple and additional security improvements were implemented in the Church. The HVAC system underwent much needed maintenance and repair. A stone walkway was also built around the Blessed Mother Statue outside the Church. The total cost of these projects was $206,734. Your response to our Grand Annual appeal helped fund approximately half of these expenses. 

At Saint Camillus, internal Church design and site assessment studies were undertaken at a cost of $10,947. Projects being considered for the current year include repairs to the external doors and replacement of the foyer floors at Saint Agnes Church. The bell tower at Saint Camillus Church needs critical and substantial repair; a special fundraising effort has been launched for this purpose.

The Grand Annual collection takes place on the weekend of October 25th– October 26th, 2025. Once again, we are requesting that each working person donate $350 to the first part of the Grand Annual Collection. We hope that those who are able will respond by 
being even more generous. We also recognize the need to strengthen the regular Offering Collection, which is the primary source of operating income for our parishes.

Once again, we encourage your prayerful consideration and support of our Offertory and Grand Annual Collection. The success of our parish activities and programs also depends, in large measure, on the dedicated team of volunteers who generously contribute their time and talent; we strongly solicit your participation. Our clergy and staff remain deeply committed to our Collaborative mission. Together, we look forward to another fruitful year at CPARL.

Respectfully in Christ,

Very Reverend Marc J. Bishop, V.F. (Pastor, Saint Agnes Parish and Saint Camillus Parish)
