Members of the Finance Council are appointed by the pastor in consultation with the Council’s membership. Anyone with particular skills or knowledge of civil law and/or finances is eligible for membership in this council. Its main goal is to counsel the pastor on financial matters that pertain to the parish. The council is responsible for the creation and monitoring of the parish’s annual budget. The Finance Council meets ten times each year on the fourth Tuesday of the month at 6:30 P.M. in the Parish House. All meetings are open to members of the parish.
