Meet the St.
Hubert Finance Council
(photo from meeting on 3-3-08)

Members:
(Listed back row then front row) Ken Szott, Mary Ellen Nowak, Father Bob
Rizzo, Jack Lackinger, Teresa McCutchan (St. Hubert Business Manager –
consults with the Finance Council), Bill Kelley, Joanmarie Wermes, Don
Ripoli, Dean Hoppesch, Clarence Owens, Mary Ann Flynn, Julie Bosshart
(not pictured Paul Caponigri).
Purpose & History:
The Finance Council has an advisory and consultative role with the
Pastor. Every Parish is required to have a Finance Council. The
current Finance Council has been in place since January 2006.
Chairperson Don Ripoli has served on the Finance Council for over 20
years.
Membership:
The Finance Council membership should be drawn from the parish community
and reflect its diversity. Members currently serving on the Finance
Council have backgrounds in Audit, Finance, Accounting, Business,
Communications, Real Estate, Law, and etc. Members cannot have a
conflict of interest in view of other services, paid or unpaid, rendered
to the parish. Members cannot be related to the Pastor. No parish
employees or members of the family of an employee may serve on the
finance council.
Meetings & Communications:
The Finance Council meets as needed, but at least once a quarter. The
Finance Council meetings are not open to the parish community due to
confidentiality of financial matters. Financial results are
communicated to the parish periodically in the bulletin and summarized
financial statements are reported once a year.
Role:
The Finance Council works closely with the Pastor, who is accountable
for the administration and stewardship of the temporal goods of the
Parish. More specifically, the Finance Council reviews financial
statements, budgets, internal controls and parish expenditures greater
than $10,000. Members are assigned to subcommittees including Budget,
Facilities & Maintenance, Financial Planning & Development, and
Communications. Members also act as liaisons to other parish groups
such as the Parish Council, School Board, Religious Education, and Youth
Ministry.
Questions?
The Finance Council Chairperson is Donald Ripoli. He can be contacted
through Teresa McCutchan, 847-885-7700 at St. Hubert Parish. Her email
is tmccutchan@sainthubert.org.

Communications is a work in
progress-
Some SURVEY RESULTS on how we
are doing,
click here
All
recommendations are being considered.
Several months ago, the Communications Ministry
asked all parishioners to respond to a survey on communication vehicles
within the parish, specifically the parish bulletin and our parish Web
site,
www.sainthubert.org.
Well, we want to thank the nearly 200 people who
took time out of their busy lives to fill out the survey, and here are
some of the highlights from the survey:
- There were 196 responses to our survey and
nearly every one of them said they read the bulletin either
sometimes (5%) or frequently (94%). Moreover, nearly everyone of the
respondents (99%) indicated that they read Father Rizzo’s weekly
letter.
- Almost all of the respondents said that the
weekly Church bulletin is their major source of information about
parish events and upcoming activities. At the same time, more than
90% of those people who filled out the surveys said they consulted
the bulletin to find out information about parish ministries, check
when various events are taking place within the parish, and to learn
more about the liturgy. Many people also commented that they liked
the new look and format of the current bulletin.
- Although only about half of the respondents
said they visited the parish Web site, many indicated that did not
frequent the site because they did not have a computer. On the other
hand, of these people who went on the Web site to fill out the
survey, nearly 95% of them said that the site does a good job of
providing church and school information. Moreover, visitors to the
Web site most frequently came looking for information about
ministries, Holy Day and holiday Mass schedules, parish/staff
contact information, and weekly bulletins.
- As with any survey, there were some questions
that were split nearly 50/50. For example, nearly half the people
responding to the survey said they loved Fr. McBrien’s theology
column, while the other half said the column should not appear in
the bulletin. It also appears that only half of the respondents want
a dedicated children’s page in the bulletin or a regular article
from our Deacons.
The Communications Ministry has tabulated the
survey results and presented them to Father Rizzo, along with some
recommendations to improve the bulletin and Web site based on your
FEEDBACK. The survey results can be viewed by
CLICKING HERE.
Some of your suggestions that have already been implemented
include updating Web site information, creating a table of contents and
“drop down” boxes on the What’s New page, and posting pictures and
additional information about the Church renovation project.
Suffice it to say, our bulletin and Web site are
communication vehicles and they are not etched in stone. As such, they
will be tweaked, prodded, changed, and upgraded as time and finances
permit. Moreover, additional decisions on how to improve the bulletin
and Web site will be made keeping your survey responses in mind. Thank
you again for your feedback!
Two new LCD
projectors have been processed and are now available to be signed
out. The projectors are to be used by St. Hubert organizations
and must remain on the campus at all times. Set up information
is located with the projectors. Please contact

The U.S. bishops have agreed to meet with a group of Catholic House
Democrats to discuss how to pursue the goal of a "responsible
transition" to
end the war in Iraq.
They also reiterated their call for members of Congress and the Bush
administration to break the political stalemate in Washington
and
"forge bipartisan policies on ways to bring about a responsible
transition and an end to the war."
