I have several observations about this statement. These figures are unaudited. The annual audit of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, by our independent auditor takes place in early September 2015. The program expenses item is greatly understated. This is because programs havent been charged for the related salaries and overhead. The annual excess of expenses over revenue of almost $1million per year obviously cannot continue. The solution involves several things:
1. Historically, the friary accounting records and the Shrine ministry accounting records have all been in one set of books. In fact, the friary and Shrine are separate legal entities. Starting July 1, 2015, the records of those two entities will be kept separately. This will help keep each entity better accountable.
2. On May 6, 2015, the Shrine had a significant workforce reduction. Our expected savings from that reduction will be $700,000 annually.
3. We have already seen some significant savings in our utility bills due to the ongoing volunteer mechanical overhaul project. Over the course of the new fiscal year, we expect those savings to be at least $100,000 annually.
4. Every department in the Shrine organization is being asked to find ways to provide existing services at less cost. The friars and the employees are doing a terrific job in this regard.
We will continue to try to keep you up-to-date on finances as we progress. Also, thank you so much for your generosity toward our work.
Father Phil O'Shea, OFM, has been transferred to our friary in Ringwood NJ. His reassignment is because they are better staffed and equipped to care for his health needs there. He joins two other Arch Street friars, Br. Justus Frazier, OFM, and Fr. Myron McCormick, OFM. There are also about 20 other friars living there.
Our friary in Ringwood is a very good skilled nursing home. He will receive very good care. Feel free to write to him or to pass his address on to other people: Fr. Philip O'Shea, OFM Holy Name Friary Skilled Nursing Home 2 Morris Road Ringwood NJ 07456-1700 For many years, Fr. Phil was a very popular confessor and had a large number of people who searched him out to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Before he became ill, Fr. Phil was the voice of the Good Word telephone messages. We pray in thanksgiving for Fr. Phil's great service to the Shrine and in hope that he enjoys his time in his new home. Fr. Thomas Conway, OFM Executive Director
