Segunda Colecta Especial
Este Fin de Semana
Fondo para la Jubilación
de Religiosos
Los religiosos y las religiosas ancianos están
necesitados de ayuda. Hermanas, hermanos y
sacerdotes católicos de órdenes religiosas que ahora son
ancianos ofrecieron su vida en servicio a los demás,—
educando la juventud, consolando a los enfermos,
buscando justicia para los oprimidos. Hoy, muchos son
frágiles, ancianos y necesitan atención médica.
Su donativo al Fondo para la Jubilación de Religiosos
apoya el cuidado básico como medicamentos y
cuidados de enfermería. Sea generoso en su donativo
a la segunda colecta de este fin de semana.

Weekly Collection
We will be sharing information with you in the weekly bulletin about how actual collections and other donations
compare with our financial goals.
Building our yearly budget is straightforward. After estimating expenses, we estimate annual collections and other
donations based on what we received in recent years. The result is a considerable gap between expenses and anticipated
donations. The Cathedral works hard to close this gap with revenue generated by our Events Center and gift shop,
interest income, Archdiocesan subsidy, savings and endowment, plus other donations and special gifts in addition to the
regular weekly offering. While sometimes necessary to cover operating costs, it is not fiscally prudent to withdraw funds
from our savings or endowment. This is why we are so grateful for annual collections and other donations.
For the Fiscal Year 2015, July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015, our annual goal is $363,000 or an average of $7,260 per week
(excluding Christmas and Easter weeks). We hope this new reporting method provides you with information that helps
you thoughtfully consider you giving to the Cathedral.
We thank you for your generous support! If you have any questions or comments for us, please contact the Cathedral’s
Development Department at 415-567-2020, ext. 229.
