Each year, the Diocese of London publishes the financial results of our diocese, parishes and diocesan cemeteries. The report, available to everyone, is available through our diocesan newspaper as well as our website, www.dol.ca. The figures are taken from two sources: the annual audited financial statements of our diocese, parishes and diocesan operated cemeteries as well as our internal records. Our fiscal year is the same as the calendar year, so the information in this report covers 2015. I encourage you to take the time to review the important information contained in this report.

Dave Savel, CPA, CA Episcopal Director of Administrative Services

ParishesParish collections and donations increased 0.3% from $31.0 million to $31.1 million and total parish operating revenues increased 1.3% from $38.1 million to $38.6 million. Ministry, sacramental and operating costs increased by 1.0%. Parish operating surplus (before capital donations and costs) decreased from $2.8 million to $2.6 million. Capital donations decreased from $9.1 million to $6.6 million. Proceeds from the sale of former church properties increased from zero to $1.5 million. Capital spending increased from $8.5 million to $13.3 million. On an overall basis (i.e. operating and capital results combined), our parishes went from a net surplus of $3.5

million in 2014 to a net deficit of $2.5 million in 2015. The reason for this was the large amount of spending on building projects in 2015. A number of parishes have been saving money for years for projects that started in 2015.

Of our 116 parishes and communities, 41 incurred an operating deficit, versus 33 parishes last year. This increase is a concern which we will need to monitor. Operating results include day-to-day receipts and expenditures such as Sunday offertory, ministry, outreach, salaries, utilities, and repairs and maintenance.

The Parish Deposit & Loan Fund has successfully operated since 1964 and functions essentially like a parish “credit union.” Parishes with excess funds, or those saving for a capital project, deposit monies with the Fund and earn interest. Parishes in need of funding for capital projects can apply to the Parish Deposit & Loan Fund Committee to borrow. Our Parish Deposit & Loan Fund cash and short-term investments increased from $10.4 million to $11.9 million. The Fund is financially healthy right now and able to continue to support

parishes with loans however 2016 will also be a big year of spending on capital projects, which will therefore reduce the amount of money available. At the end of the year, the number of parishes and diocesan entities with money on deposit was 97, totaling $26.9 million. The average deposit balance was $277 thousand. In the previous year, 104 parishes and diocesan entities had deposits of $27.6 million, with an average deposit balance of $266 thousand. The number of parishes and diocesan entities in a loan position (i.e. owed money to the

Fund) was 30, with the amount totaling $16.8 million. The average loan balance was $560 thousand. In the previous year, 26 parishes and diocesan entities had loans totaling $19.2 million, with an average loan balance of $737 thousand.

Major capital projects in excess of $100,000 took place at the following parishes and communities:• Amherstburg: St. John the

Baptist• Blenheim: St. Mary’s• Chatham: Blessed Sacrament• Lakeshore: Good Shepherd• LaSalle: Sacred Heart• Leamington: St. Michael

• London: St. Justin’s and St. Michael

• Lucan: St. Patrick• River Canard: St. Joseph• Sarnia: Sacred Heart• Stratford: St. Joseph• Tillsonburg: St. Mary• Windsor: St. Philiphe &

St. Ane Thanh Vietnamese Martyrs, Our Lady of Guadalupe and St. Francis of Assisi

• Wingham: Sacred Heart• Woodslee: St. John the

Evangelist

County). In both cases, the new churches are replacing two existing churches, with the two communities coming together. The construction will take at least one year in both cases.

What happens to a church building if it is closed?We have a process whereby we list the church building for sale through a real estate agent on the open market. We are very careful about whom we sell to and always place a restrictive covenant, registered on title, that limits the future use of the church building. The restrictive covenant basically states that the church cannot be used for any purpose that is contrary to Roman Catholic faith, teachings or beliefs. All liturgical items are removed. The proceeds from the sale go to the parish that now becomes responsible for the spiritual care of the parishioners of the closing parish.

Diocesan CentreThe Diocesan Centre operating surplus decreased from $2.4 million to $1.8 million. Included in the current year surplus was $762 thousand of investment income of which only $289 thousand was actually used to fund operations. The remaining $473 thousand was reinvested as per our investment policy. Our investments are endowment funds, which provide a stream of income for the diocese to help fund operations. At the end of the year, the diocese owed $1.5 million to the Parish Deposit & Loan Fund, which was borrowed to pay for the renovations to the Diocesan Centre. The loan is being repaid with annual payments of $200 thousand, including principal and interest.

We continue to pay the price for crimes related to sexual misconduct. The price of course is high and can only be partially measured in financial terms. The spiritual cost is far greater. The financial results noted above do not include expenses related to sexual abuse claims and the sale of non-parish assets. We are selling off non-parish assets to pay for the financial cost of misconduct but in order to allow for an orderly sale of these assets, we arranged a credit facility with the bank. This way we can avoid “fire sales” of property. As we sell properties or receive insurance proceeds, we pay down the bank loan. The balance of the loan increased during the year from $9.2 million to $9.4 million. The debt is due June 2018.

We still have a significant number of outstanding cases, which will likely take a number of years to settle. Although we

expect insurance to pay a portion of our costs, the financial cost to the diocese is still very high. We have a plan in place to repay the outstanding loan and the cost of the outstanding claims. We are doing our utmost to make fair and reasonable settlements with victims of sexual abuse as quickly as possible. In addition, the diocese continues to pay for counseling and support for victims.

Diocesan CemeteriesIn addition to our 67 parish cemeteries, there are cemeteries in Windsor, Sarnia and London managed directly by the diocese. Diocesan cemeteries revenues increased from $7.6 million to $7.7 million. One of the main financial goals of our diocesan cemeteries is to eliminate their debt incurred mainly to construct mausoleums

in Windsor, Sarnia and London. The debt balance decreased from $1.6 million to $0.6 million. In order to repay the debt, it is essential for the cemeteries to earn annual surpluses. We have worked with our Diocesan Finance Committee to develop a financial plan, which is being implemented. The cemeteries surplus decreased from $1.1 million to $0.6 million.

The cemeteries are governed by the Ontario Funeral, Burial and Cremation Services Act. By law, whenever a pre-planned sale is made, the money must be invested with our trustee until the service or product has been provided. In addition, also by law, when a sale is made, a certain percentage of the money must be invested with our trustee to provide perpetual care and maintenance funding. For example, when a grave is sold, 40% of the money must be

The amount invested with our trustee for pre-planned sales increased from $14.3 million to $15.1 million and the amount invested in the perpetual care and maintenance fund increased from $40.4 million to $42.9 million. The perpetual care and maintenance fund provide income to help pay for the operating costs of the cemeteries.

Have you considered pre-planning your cemetery arrangements?

Planning your cemetery arrangements in advance brings peace of mind to you and your family. Please consider pre-planning directly with one of our diocesan or parish cemeteries. At the same time we recommend you consider plans for your funeral Mass (i.e. church, readings and music) and make those plans known to your family. Please consider the Church when preparing your Last Will & Testament. As an example, you could leave a portion of your estate to your local parish, the diocese, St. John the Evangelist Pension

Fund Society (clergy pension) or St. Peter’s Seminary.

Accountability & ResponsibilityEach parish is required to have a finance committee to provide counsel to the pastor or administrator. Parishes must submit a financial report to the diocese annually. Parishes also are required to present a financial report to their parishioners at least annually. Every parish and diocesan bank account requires two signatures on all bank documents, including cheques.

Our consolidated diocesan and parish financial statements and our diocesan managed cemeteries financial statements are audited annually by KPMG (London and Windsor). The diocese has an internal audit program. This program is led by our Diocesan Audit Committee and diocesan administration and is quite comprehensive. The internal audit review takes 2-3 days per parish or diocesan entity. In 2015 we completed 31 internal audits at parishes, communities and diocesan entities. Our Diocesan Audit Committee is currently seeking new members. Please contact

Otilia Santin at the Diocesan Centre if you are interested. Each parish and the diocese are registered charities and therefore must file a charity return (similar to a tax return) by June 30 each year. Most of the information on the return is made public on the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) website. If you would like to see more detailed information about your parish, diocese or any other Canadian registered charity, you can do so by visiting the CRA website, http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/, and click Charities and Giving. Our diocese has an administrative group reporting to Bishop Fabbro, which relies heavily on the discipline and review of our plans and budgets by our Diocesan Finance Committee, chaired by Mr. Peter Regier of London. This objective committee, comprised of people from across the diocese with significant expertise, forms part of our internal control system to ensure that we make prudent financial decisions. The committee is a third party that is independent of administration and makes recommendations and gives advice when and where it deems necessary. We also have two subcommittees. The Investment Committee, chaired by Dave Savel of London, oversees the investment of our cemetery trust funds, accumulated surpluses and our Pentecost 2000 endowment funds. The Audit Committee, chaired by Mr. Terry Crawley of Essex, oversees internal audits and meets with our external auditors, KPMG, to plan the annual financial audits and then review the financial statements and auditors report. These committees analyze our practices and policies, assess risks, and provide proactive advice.

Please contact Dave Savel at the Diocesan Centre if you are interested in serving on either

the Finance Committee or Investment Committee. Consistent with Goal #6 of our Pastoral Plan, our diocese follows sound business practices: we prepare an annual budget; actual results are compared to budget

To access an electronic copy of the Diocese of London’s Annual Report, including previous years, visit www.dol.ca.

Pentecost 2000 Update Pentecost 2000 was a five-year (1989-94) major fundraising campaign in the Diocese of London to establish endowment funds for the seminary, cathedral and diocesan programs. Parishioners across our diocese responded very generously: the original endowment balance from the campaign was $15.3 million.

The funds have been prudently invested according to investment policies and goals established by our Investment Committee, with the assistance of our investment advisors. In accordance with a policy established by our Finance Committee, 4.25% is paid out annually to fund the seminary, cathedral and diocesan programs. The payout policy and percentage was developed to preserve the purchasing power (inflation protection) of the endowment funds and prevent wild swings in the amount paid out. Whether we earn 12% or lose 2%, we still pay out 4.25%. The excess income (above 4.25%) is reinvested in the endowment funds to provide for increasing payout amounts in the years to come to keep pace with inflation.

Our investment returns were 9.8% in 2014 and 4.0% in 2015. Our five- and ten-year annualized returns were 6.0% and 5.1%, respectively. These returns were negatively impacted by the 2008-09 financial meltdown.

The chart on this page shows, at December 31, the Pentecost 2000 balances held in trust by the diocese.
