WElcome Weekend at St. George
We invite everyone to join us for our annual parish Welcome Weekend on September 10th and September 11th at all Masses.
This is a special time in our parish as we welcome back those who have traveled during the summer. This is also an invitation to those of you who have been away longer than just the summer. Come, rekindle your friendship with God and St. George friends. There will be a special blessing and free treats after the Masses.
Enjoy the ice cream truck on Saturday, doughnuts and coffee, etc. on Sunday! Please join us in prayer and worship as we gather together. We hope you'll be with us!

Council update - Summer 2022
The Pastoral Council held it's June meeting on the 14th; plans were put in place for Welcome Weekend to return September 10 - 11th featuring the popular ice cream truck and free donuts after the Sunday Masses.
The event formerly known as The Ministry Social will be reworked as We Give Thanks Weekend which will celebrate all of those parishioners who serve the parish in volunteer positions, provide music, spiritual leadership, provide a service as ushers and alter servers, eucharistic ministers, lectors, and all of the other wonderful people who serve the parish and help to make our community better. These people will be recognized at all three weekend masses and we'll have a little celebration following the 10am Mass on Sunday-- date TBA but look for it in November.
The Council also discussed the new incoming associate pastor and administrative assistant, both of whom will be in their respective roles this summer.
Other upcoming events will see a return to Neighborhood Gatherings with more information following in the bulletin and on the website.
Other council business will be posted here and in the newsletter in the future.

Giving Update
There have been some changes to the Online Giving Software. When you log on through the link on our parish website, you will see a new screen that requests your email rather than a USERID. Use your email address that is on record with the parish and the password you have used most recently for Online Giving (which you used with your former USERID), and you should now be able to access screens for giving and for your recent giving history.
The changes by the vendor are continuing. We will keep you updated.

Parish Finance Council
The Finance Council is the only parish group required by Canon Law. The revised Code of Cannon Law 537 of 1983 has established that each parish is to have a “Finance Council” and that this council is to aid the pastor in the administration of “parish goods” in accordance with Canon Law 532.
St. George’s Finance Committee is made up of parishioners designated by the pastor. Per Canon Law, there must be a minimum of three parishioners on the council. This number can be increased by the pastor based on the needs of the parish. The pastor, by nature of his position, is also a voting member of the council. The following are some major responsibilities of the Finance Committee:
Develops the annual budget and recommends it to the pastor.
Reviews all financial transactions on at least a monthly basis.
Reports back to the Parish the state of the Parish Finances on a quarterly basis.
Along with the pastor, approves and submits an annual financial report to the diocese.
Approves all capital projects and insures those over $10,000 are pre-approved by the diocese.
Offers counsel and monitors activity of all parish financial assets.
Ensures that all parish financial activities are conducted in accordance with sound financial practice according to the training guidelines of the diocese.
Offers counsel and assists the pastor in all parish fundraising activities.
Reviews job descriptions and compensation for all parish employees.
The primary goal of the members of the Saint George Finance Council is to be responsible stewards of our parish resources and provide fiscal transparency to our parishioners.
