奶糖直播, Pa., July 18, 2017 鈥� Mike Castrilli and Charles Zech, PhD, of VSB鈥檚 Center of Church Management (CCM) won second place in the 2017 Catholic Press Association Awards for their book Parish Finance: Best Practices in Church Management. The book won in the 鈥減rofessional books鈥� category of the competition, which features books on professional development with a Catholic context. These awards recognize the meaningful contributions of authors and publishers of Catholic work.

鈥淚t is a true honor to be recognized by the Catholic Press Association,鈥� said Castrilli, co-author of the book and Business Fellow of the CCM. 鈥淥ur goal for this book is to offer a practical, user-friendly guide for priests, seminarians and parish managers to learn the essentials of church finance and we are excited to be recognized for delivering on this promise,鈥� he continued.

The book was praised by the Catholic Press Association for being extremely well outlined and providing a helpful overview on how to develop, understand and implement a church budget. It was noted as being a valuable tool to those both familiar and unfamiliar with the development of parish financial budgets, according to the Catholic Press Association.

"The recognition given to this book by the Catholic Press Association provides further acknowledgment of the increasing awareness of good financial stewardship in parishes, and in fact at all levels of the church,鈥� said Dr. Zech, co-author of the book. 鈥淲e purposefully wrote it at a level of understanding for new pastors and seminarians which demonstrates that a priest need not be a trained accountant to understand parish finances in the process of carrying out his governance function.鈥�

鈥淭he collaboration of Mike Castrilli and Dr. Zech will provide unprecedented guidance in the field of parish financing and VSB is thrilled that their work has been recognized with this prestigious award,鈥� said Joyce E. A. Russell, PhD, the Helen and William O鈥橳oole Dean of VSB.
