Financial Report 2025

Todays Catholic

Dear friends in Christ:

Once again, we are publishing an accounting of the financial operations of the diocese for the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2025. As we have done in past years, we have also included a consolidated financial report of our high schools and parishes. This is done in the spirit of accountability and transparency.

For the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2025, our total gain was $8,094,876 (from our audited financial statements), which you see here with a comparison to 2024. This is a detailed breakdown of our financial picture. Investment performance was the key driver for the gain as it exceeded budgeted investment income by $8.6 million. This is only for the central operations of the diocese. It does not include the activity of the parishes, schools, or missions in the diocese.

Respectfully submitted,

Joseph G. Ryan, Chief Financial Officer
