All congregations are canonically required to complete an annual audit of the books and records of the congregation and to file the report with the diocese no later than September 1. All accounts (investment accounts, discretionary funds, memorial funds, and any other accounts of the congregation) must be audited each year.
For more information, see the Guidelines for Financial Audits page.
Each congregation is required by The Episcopal Church and the Diocese of Newark to file the annual Parochial Report for the year 2013 by March 1, 2014. This report contains information regarding church statistics (attendance, number of services, baptisms, and other statistical data) and financial information, as well as information regarding clergy serving the congregation.
Letters regarding congregational pledges to the diocese for 2014 have been mailed to all clergy, wardens and treasurers of each congregation. In the letter – which is signed by Bishop Beckwith, the CFO, President of the Standing Committee, and Vice President of Diocesan Council – congregations are invited to “reflect on the work of the Diocese just as you consider all you do” at each church in the diocese. “As a diocese, we grow stronger as we work together. As we Dare to Be Disciples of Christ, we have faith that God will guide us to a new and better place as each of our congregations and our Diocese are faithful stewards of what God has entrusted to us. It is our need to give that forms the foundation of our Christian lives, and strengthens us and helps us to grow.”

United Airlines flight attendant Georgeina Day DuFresne of Morris Plains was in Los Angeles on Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2001. She had just thanked God for a beautiful day and was anticipating flying home to be with her daughter, Sara. “Then I watched the plane hit the tower.”
