Finance Council

A properly functioning parish finance council is integral to good parish financial management, is required by canon law, and a key element of a parish internal control system. The Parish Finance Council provides oversight of the financial management of the parish. Major responsibilities of the Parish Finance Council include input to, and review of the parish annual budget and periodic financial statements; review of internal controls and procedures; and planning for the temporal needs of the parish. Finance council membership is by appointment. The council meets bimonthly on the 2nd Thursday of the month.
