Financials

Together, we make an impact!

in living our mission to encounter, love, and serve Jesus, one another, and the world!

Sharing your treasure

As members of a faith community, we know that it takes all of us to accomplish God’s work. If we all chip in, in proportion to our resources, we can make a significant impact in the lives of others—those in our parish family, in our community, and well beyond Pacific Beach. We prayerfully and intentionally consider what we are being called to give to our Sunday offering, the annual diocesan appeal, and other worthwhile causes.



Give Profit and Loss

An invitation from Fr. Steve - December, 2023

At Saint Brigid Parish, we strive to be intentional in forming people and sending them out as disciples of Jesus in the world, in responding to his call that we hear in the gospels to Encounter, Love, and Serve Jesus, One Another, and the World.
Everything we do is made possible by your financial support of the parish. Last year at this time, we were dealing with a projected $120,000 shortfall in our annual budget. I am deeply grateful to all of you who increased your giving to the parish in response to my appeal, enabling us to conclude the fiscal year in June 2023 with a deficit of $50,000. My hope this year is that giving will increase to the point of no deficit in our annual budget.
I am deeply gratified by the ways in which you as individual disciples and all of us together as a community of faith witness to the Lord’s abundant compassion and mercy in the world in which we live and work.
As we approach the end of the calendar year, I invite all of us together to consider prayerfully our financial support of the parish, so that we can continue to thrive in the mission entrusted to us by the Lord as His disciples. The insert included with this letter will give you a sense of what we have been doing this past year.
Following up on what I proposed in last year’s letter, I invite you to consider what percentage, and corresponding dollar amount, of your annual income that you would like to set as a goal for your charitable giving in calendar year 2024. Then decide what percentage of this amount you will give to the parish, with the balance going to other charities for which you have a passion in supporting. For the calendar year 2023, I set a goal of 12% of my income, or $6,000, for charitable giving. I committed $3,000 to the parish, or approximately $60 a week, and $3,000 for other charities. For calendar year 2024 I have set a goal to increase my charitable giving by 10% to $6,600 for the year–$3,300 to the parish and $3,300 to other charities.

May the Lord who is abundant in His blessings beyond all our imagining continue to be with us, to sustain us, and to guide and inspire us all.


Sincerely yours in ChristFather Steve Callahan
