"The proper management of assets and their use is a testimony given to all of how much can be done with little.” (Pope Francis, Dec. 5)

Dear Friends in Christ:

Pope Francis spoke of the importance of financial budgeting, auditing, investing and saving in December and remarked that it is essential that we have good financial practices when carrying out the Church’s mission. He said we must do these tasks with the highest sense of responsibility and prudence.

The annual audit for the Diocese of Little Rock is presented for your reading and review. In our effort to be transparent, all parishioners can view the state of our finances and see how we are doing in the areas of investing and saving.

Our diocesan finance office, led by Greg Wolfe, follows the pope’s lead by employing the best financial practices, including an annual audit of our major accounts. I am personally grateful for their extreme diligence and concern for our diocese.

Sincerely in Christ,
Anthony B. Taylor
Bishop of Little Rock
