The Finance Council is made up of parishioners, appointed by the Pastor, who serve in an advisory role to the Pastor for Parish financial matters. The Pastor may consult with the Finance Council when seeking opportunities to more efficiently manage the Parish financial affairs and to discuss potential investment and revenue strategies. The Finance Council actively participated in developing the Strategic Plan and typically provides input into the development of the annual budget, reviews the long term capital project plans and contributes to the preparation of the Pastor’s annual budget address.
