Financial Report of the Church of St. Lawrence Watts, California 1924 Herewith I beg to present to you the Financial Statement of the Parish for the year 1924. Owing to the fact of our New School Building as well as our Church Convent and House improvements, our debt has not been reduced, yet we have reason to be rejoiced at our general excellent showing. A more loyal cooperation on the part of some is needed, then more satisfactory results will be assured. To all I express my satisfaction and gratitude, and by a continued united effort the present year will mark even a more satisfactory showing.
