Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time | Bulletin of October 25, 2026 Message from Msgr. Schwanger
My Dear Family of Our Lady of Lourdes,
I want to thank the members of our Finance Council for all their hard work; not only in preparing our financial report for the parish but for all the work they do throughout the year! Marilisa Chin, the current President of the Finance Council, and her team of Lourdes Bouzas, Andrew Lyons, Alejandro Otero, and Hilda Fernandez are an industrious bunch who spend many hours helping us to be good stewards. It is truly one of our most dedicated teams.
The purpose of the Council is to advise the pastor in matters concerning financial planning and management in order to promote the good stewardship of resources and advance the mission of the parish community. And, of course, they prepare an annual report both for the Archbishop and for our parish family.
This year’s report shows the fruit of an active community of faith. I am very thankful that our use of online giving continues to increase. The regular support of those using online giving provides strong skeletal support for the Body of Christ here at Our Lady of Lourdes and its mission.
I would like to highlight a few things in our financial reports included in this bulletin. Looking at the report for the parish, the $494,033 subsidy is the parish school’s support toward paying off our long-term parish debt. When I arrived at OLOL in 2010, our long-term debt was $7.1 million and although the report says we now owe just over $3 million, by now we owe just under $3 million. Two million dollars is significant, but I like it much better than $3 million or $7 million!
The $777,178 in repairs and maintenance is higher than last year, but as I mentioned last year, in the next few years we will have some major repair expenses as we get the property ready for our next chapter. Our property is heavily used throughout the year and “best practices” for a campus as large as OLOL would expect a yearly expense of $1.5 million to maintain it.
Finally, looking at the school report, the $122,047 surplus reflects our budgeting strategy. We budget to pay a good wage to our teachers and staff as well as to keep tuition as low as possible.
Our Lady of Lourdes Church is a tremendous blessing for the people of Miami and even beyond. We can be proud of what, by God’s grace, we have been able to do so far, and embrace with confidence and enthusiasm the work and life which lies ahead!
Pastor
Msgr. Schwanger
