Parish Finance Councils

As consultative bodies, each Parish has its own  Finance Council that assists the pastor by providing counsel in the administration of parish life and finances.  These leadership groups review regular financial reports and share the information with their parishes, as well as planning for future financial needs.  Financial transparency is always a priority.  The Finance Councils assist the pastor in establishing the financial goals for each parish and identifies various projects to be addressed.  They review an annual budget and advise on capital needs projects.

The goal of the finance council is to aid the Pastor in maintaining fiscally healthy parishes, by advising him on matters related to budgeting and spending, when appropriate.
