Parish Financial Report

| St. Charles Borromeo

The parish annual financial report is available on the parish website.

While our parish has been able to fund the repairs and renovations of the church and rectory, our current collections do not cover our weekly operating expenses. The gap has widened over the past year as expenses, including heat and insurance have increased substantially due to inflation.

This means we must use rental monies to cover our costs, which is not a sign of a vibrant parish community. The rental monies the parish earns from leasing the school and rectory are earmarked to maintain and renovate the church building and the parish house which we would not otherwise have the funds to do. The renovation work is still very much in progress. That is why we need to bring in sufficient parishioner contributions to cover the costs of running the church, the parish house, and our spiritual and other programs.

Consider increasing your financial support of the parish. You can contribute online through our parish online giving portal, stcharlesbklyn.weshareonline.org.

Contribute to the Annual Catholic Appeal

| St. Charles Borromeo

We encourage you to support the Annual Catholic Appeal. The proceeds from the Appeal subsidize many of the most important but in some cases unseen ministries of the Diocese, including Catholic Charities, hospital and school chaplains, youth ministries, migration services, seminarians, and retired priests. The money collected for the Annual Catholic Campaign does not support the administrative needs of the Diocese, but specific and necessary ministries that help the people of Brooklyn and Queens.

The St. Charles Annual Catholic Appeal goal is $36,302. We are getting close, but need your help to reach our goal. We are 83% of the way there! 30 parish households have donated or pledged $30,050. Thank you for your generous support of the Appeal. Please prayerfully consider if this is the year you wish to become a member of the Annual Catholic Appeal household.
