About Us

The Financial Council provides advice and guidance to the pastor in the administration of parish assets. The Council: prepares the parish budget, any budgets for extraordinary expenditures, and reviews financial statements; monitors the financial condition of the parish, including regular financial reviews/audits as well as the internal financial controls by following the recommendations in the audit/review; reviews any indebtedness of the parish and assists the pastor in fulfilling his obligations to pay the interest on a loan or mortgage when it is due and take care that the capital debt itself is repaid in due time; and provides assistance in the formulation and communication of an annual financial report to the parish community. If you have questions regarding parish finances, contact one of the members of the Finance Council listed below.
