As fellow parishioners complain about Fr.

Avalon - As fellow parishioners complain about Fr. Mark's personality, they are missing an important concern: his fiscal irresponsibility. As soon as he arrived he gutted the Finance Council and put on a group of yes men. Then demolished the Avalon rectory, is moving the office to St. Paul, renovating that building, and increased the parish staff by three times substantially increasing the payroll. My concern is that he is depleting our coffers. Once the money is gone the diocese will close the parish for good. He needs to be held accountable for his spending.
