WORCESTER —The Roman Catholic Diocese of Worcester yielded an operating surplus of $122,418 during last fiscal year, the chancery reported on Thursday.
Officials said that the financial numbers for the fiscal year that ended Aug. 31 reflect a trend, over the past several years, in which the local church’s overall financial ledger has come close to being balanced.
“In some of those years, we’ve had slight surpluses, in others slight losses,” said Vice Chancellor of Operations Raymond L Delisle.
The nearly balanced budget resulted from about $1.28 million worth of cuts in expenses across all departments and agencies. Chancery officials applauded the “tight financial controls” that managers have been using to keep costs down.
