The purpose of the Council is to assist the Pastor with the financial affairs of the parish.  The Council works with and provides advice for the Pastor.  It is a consultative body. The Pastor makes the final decisions and is responsible for them according to Canons 532, 1281-1288.

Members of the Finance Council are appointed by the Pastor.  Members are ordinarily members of the parish, prudent and trustworthy, and knowledgeable in financial affairs.

The Council has between five and eight members.  The two Trustees of the parish serve as ex-officio Members of the Parish Finance Council during their term of office because of their fiduciary responsibilities.  The other Members serve on the Finance Council at the pleasure of the Pastor for a term of three years, with the possibility of reappointment for a single consecutive term.

The Finance Council assists the Pastor in the preparation of the required annual financial reports for the parish; provides assistance in the development and review of the annual operating budgets for the parish; and reports formally to the Parish Council on the financial condition of the parish. The Finance Council is consulted by the Pastor with regard to expenditures in excess of $20,000.  The Pastor must also obtain approval from the Archdiocese for all projects in excess of this amount.
