St. Mary’s Parish Church – Financial Report 2022
Audited Accounts for St Mary’s Parish Church for the year ended 31st December 2022.
We are very pleased to confirm that we exceeded our financial breakeven target with an audited surplus of €5990 for the year ended 31st December 2022.
Our thanks and appreciation to all those who contribute so generously, to our service providers, to our Auditors Hannan Accounting Services and to James Lavery for his continuing dedication and hard work throughout 2022. Despite the cessation of the Covid Wage subsidy scheme (€15,600 in 2021) overall income figure increased from € €76,937 to €82,777 (7.6%) over 2021. Operational costs also increased from €68155 to €76787 (13%) with a net surplus of income over expenditure of €5990. Significant increases in the offertory collections (23%), maintenance (15%) Rental Income (623%) Revenue refunds (30%) are the significant positive upward trends in income.
Scheduled increases in salary costs (due to extended hours and responsibilities) were offset by some very prudent cost management on a number of line items (including our light and heat costs which reversed national trends showing a decrease of 4% over 2021.) All invoices for the period have been processed and paid.
A very special word of Thanks and Appreciation to the Tarbert Community Services who donated €5000, and all donors who contributed throughout the year. We are pleased with the restoration of our online services earlier this year after a significant investment was required to upgrade the services.
Challenges ahead include managing in times when energy costs remain high and the consumer price index rose by 8.5% between February 2022 and February 2023.
Please continue to donate what you can weekly or monthly, you now have three separate options which are as follows.
1. Via this website (See ‘DONATE‘ button in menu).
