As part of the year-end process, every pastor, administrator, principal and campus minister chaplain must submit an annual certification letter to the Archbishop, attesting to the financial condition of their parish, mission, school or campus ministry. Sample copies of the certification letter are available for download from the Office of Finance website.
Please mail the original, signed certification letter to the Chancery, attention Michael Warren; along with a copy of the June 30, 2017 financial reports from ConnectNow, which were provided to and approved by the finance committee.
The certification letter is due by Friday, September 29, 2017.
Annual Financial Report to Parishioners/School Families

Please email a copy of the report to Patrick Warner at pwarner@archatl.com and mail a paper copy to Michael Warren in Office of Finance. The paper copy will be given to the Office of Archives and Records and added to the parish/school’s permanent record.
