Notes:
(1) On July 1, 2015, we separated the accounting records for the Shrine and the Friary. The friars began
receiving a salary from the Shrine at that time. (2) The Program Expense figures dont include the salaries of friars
and employees who work on programs. Those amounts are included instead in the "Salaries and Related" line. (3)
As of 10/30/15, the Shrine has $150,000 in restricted monies. The restrictions are mostly for the Lazarus Program
the Food Center. We have $325,000 in unrestricted cash and we owe Holy Name Province $200,000, so we have only
$125,000 in truly available, unrestricted monies.
