The <strong>Eparchy</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Maron</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Brooklyn</strong> Publishes Its<br />

Financial Report For The Fiscal Year 2006<br />

Prot. No. 403/1/07<br />

Circ. No. 07.12<br />

A Letter From Bishop Gregory Mansour<br />

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:<br />

Enclosed, please find the 2006 Eparchial Financial<br />

Report, including the Balance Sheet and the Schedule<br />

<strong>of</strong> Income and Expenditures. The Eparchial Finance<br />

Council has reviewed this report and has done superb work<br />

in making our financial situation stronger and more<br />

transparent.<br />

This year, we had the Chancery audited by an outside<br />

firm and we had our Cathedral done as well. Currently, we<br />

are in the process <strong>of</strong> having all parish financial statements<br />

reviewed for the past five years. We hope this effort will<br />

meet our obligations to be trustworthy stewards <strong>of</strong> that which<br />

is entrusted to us.<br />

The EparchialFinancial Reportshows a loss for the fiscal<br />

year 2006 in Ordinary Income. This was due to the extra<br />

expenses <strong>of</strong> the priest retirement fund and the extraordinary<br />

renovations <strong>of</strong> the Seminary. Thankfully, this year it was<br />

covered by Gains on Investments.<br />

I want to thank each <strong>of</strong> you who have trusted your parish<br />

and <strong>Eparchy</strong> with your time, talent and treasure. With God’s<br />

grace, we improve every year in our ability to serve those<br />

who invest so much love and material gifts for the work <strong>of</strong><br />

Christ’s Church.<br />

With prayerful best wishes, I remain<br />

Sincerely yours in Christ,<br />

+Gregory J. Mansour<br />
