Laymen To Make Financial Appeals For the next three months the priests at Holy Child parish in Jacksonville will make no men tion of the financial needs or status of the parish. Instead these announcements and ap peals will be handled by the lay men of the parish. This is part of the diocesan effort to have the laymen share directly in the operation and direction of par ish affairs. Monsignor Lawrence Newman, the pastor, made this announce ment when he presented the an nual financial report to the pa rishioners. The highlight of the report was that the per diem cost of parish operation had dropped from $476 per day in 1965 to $422 per day in 1966. Ten years ago when the then Father Newman was assigned to the parish the debt was $163,000; since then a rectory, school, gymnatorium and Church have been erected. The total debt is now $235,093.00 and should be paid by 1978.
