Mission Statement
The Finance Council ensures sound fiscal management for the parish.
About the Finance Council
The Finance Council is the chief advisory body to the Pastor on fiscal matters. It is the Finance Council's responsibility to develop the annual budget, monitor its execution throughout the year and advise the Pastor, the Parish Administrator, and the Pastoral Council on all matters pertaining to finance. The Finance Council meets monthly to review balance sheets, income/expense statements and cash flow reports. The Finance Council also oversees the school budget, develops annual reports for both the Archdiocese and the parish, monitors salary administration for parish employees and ensures that proper accounting procedures are followed in all money matters. Church law (Canon 537) requires each parish to have a Finance Council and the Finance Council serves on a par with the Pastoral Council in the overall advisory leadership of the parish.
The 12 member council consists of the Pastor, the Parish Administrator (ex officio voting member), volunteer parishioners appointed by the Pastor and a Holy Family School Board Representative (ex officio voting member). The Parish Administrator chairs the Finance Council.
