Consultation on Finance and Construction Policies Meeting

Dear Fathers:

I want to thank you and your bookkeepers for the great progress we are making on this coming October's promulgation of the new Finance and Construction policies in the Diocese of Yakima.  Jim Perko and Matt Feltrup have done a splendid job working with our parish bookkeepers. 

Our second consultation takes place on Tuesday, May 22, 2012 from 10am to 3pm at the Pastoral Center.  Jim Perko also wants the priests to know they are invited to this second round if they want to get a sense of the issues our bookkeepers are handling in our parishes.

However, it is vitally important that the priests of the Diocese of Yakima use this month of May to attend their deanery or area regional meetings since the representatives on the executive committee of the presbyteral council are collecting comments and feedback from each area of the diocese for our June meeting.

If you'd like further information be sure to contact Jim Perko at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.   In advance, I thank you for your cooperation.
