With all the cutbacks & budget restraints, the Cathedral's staff have suffered too. Normally they try to get receipts out in 3 weeks but sometimes they are overburdened with other demands - after all they have more than 200 Churches in the Diocese of Huron.

I generally went up once a month ( 1 hr's drive) - sometimes I kept money several weeks- once in Nov. I went up 2 weeks in a row with a total of more than $25,000.

Conclusion: I think this questioning & criticism has gone far enough. It is not necessary!

People here simply do not have the facts - the same applies for Silverado! enough is enough!
