Finance Committee

The basic role of the Finance Committee is to assist the Pastor and Administration in the control and reporting of Parish finances.

Membership is based on individual knowledge of accounting principles, financial management experience and participation in Parish life.

Meeting on a regular (monthly to bi-monthly) basis with the Parish Administrator, the Finance Committee reviews all pertinent financial documents such as income/expense statements (actual to budget), budgets and balance sheet to insure that sound financial practices are being followed and to advise the Pastor and Administration on financial practices that fall within the Diocesan guidelines. The Committee recommends approval or change of annual Diocesan and Governmental reports as required.

The Finance Committee also consults on equipment purchases where necessary. Recommendations are also made relative to fund- raising, planning, maintenance programs and personnel matters related to financial considerations.

The Finance Committee has become very proactive on behalf of the Parish in presenting reviews of our financial picture to the Parish and creating programs designed to educate Parishioners regarding charitable donations and income taxes.
