Archbishop Lori will be visiting OLC on Sunday, November 25th to celebrate the 8:30am Mass and greet parishioners afterward.  Everyone is invited to attend and please join me in welcoming the Archbishop to our parish.

REMEMBER - We're All Winners!  

Many parishioners ask about the "Cathedraticum Tax."  Cathedraticum is the term used for the funds each parish contributes to the Archdiocese to support the day-to-day operations of the Archdiocese.  The amount of money is based on the parish's income.  The tax rate is 6.5% on the first $100,000 of income, 12.5% on the second $100,000 of income, and 15.5% on income in excess of $200,000. There are some sources of income that are tax-exempt such as income to support tuition assistance, the Catholic Review, Archdiocesan Collections, and parish Evangelization support.   

Our Lady of the Chesapeake owes $261,453 in past due Cathedraticum tax going back to July 1, 2016 through September 30, 2018.

The Archdiocese has posted a report on this year's projected cathedraticum income and expeneses covered by the funds.  The link to this report is below:
