Dear Members of St Henry’s Cathedral Parish, At its meeting on December 15, the Diocesan Finance Committee has confirmed that the primary recipient of membership fees in the Diocese of Helsinki henceforth will be the parishes. This means that parishes can ask their members to specifically support the parish instead of the Diocese. The Parish will then pay 10 per cent of all its income to the Diocese, in accordance with the instructions from the Bishop earlier this year (October 17, 2017).
The Finance Committee decided to look at the situation again in the autumn of 2018, when it is possible to assess how the new system works. At the same time, they will see if the payment of 10 per cent of income from the parishes to the Diocese is suitable.
Parish Council Elections were held in St Henry's Cathedral Parish at the end of November. The new Parish Council - which will serve for five years from January 1st, 2018 - comprises the following members of the St Henry's Parish: Timo Ala-Könni, Heikki Aronpää, Diana Kaley, Sisar Anna Krasuska USJK, Raija Markkula, Heikki Salomies, Christina Ståhle and Marja Torsti. Thank you for your work for the good of the Parish!
