FINANCE COUNCIL

The Parish Finance Council is a consultative body of lay persons established to advise the Pastor on matters pertaining to the financial administration of the parish.  The Finance Council assists the parish in prudent planning and administration of all parish financial matters and the setting of policy and procedures to provide effective management of parish assets.

Members of the Finance Council are appointed by the Pastor.  The relationship between the Pastor and the Council is one of support and collaboration. Canon Law clearly places the Finance Council in a role of assisting the Pastor in planning, coordinating, guiding and directing all financial aspects of parish life.  The Pastor is president and he appoints an Executive Officer who assists him in coordinating the work of the Finance Council.
