Councils

Finance Council
The Finance Council is a consultative body that provides the pastor with advice concerning the stewardship of the parish’s fiscal resources. It assists the pastor by:

  • Conducting long-range financial planning with regard to funding operational and capital needs in the parish.
  • Developing and overseeing a parish budget process which results in an annual parish budget. This process should involve the participation of those responsible for parish programs. It should be so designed that it addresses the parish’s priorities and goals as determined by the pastor and parish pastoral council.
  • Providing financial analysis of current fiscal status reports.
  • Providing fiscal analysis of proposed goals, strategies, programs and administrative aspects of parish life.

While the finance council has significant responsibility for the stewardship of parish financial resources, it is not the role of the finance council to recommend directions, priorities, or programs other than those related to its delegation: namely, fiscal stewardship. For this reason, the other consultative structures must be in place for the finance council to fulfill its role responsibly and effectively.

Meets first Wednesday of each month at 6:30 in the gym.

Pastoral Council
The Pastoral Council is a consultative body to the pastor. The purpose of the pastoral council is to examine, consider, and draw conclusions concerning matters under discussion in order to recommend a course of action to the pastor. Through pastoral planning, the pastoral council assists the pastor in

  • Developing and living out the mission of the parish.
  • Forming community as a sign and witness of unity for the larger parish community.
  • Providing recommendations for parish priorities, directions, and policies.
  • Promoting communication and understanding among parish organizations and between the parish, the Archdiocese, and the universal Church.

Meets first Wednesday of each month at 6:30 in the gym.
