The Finance Council is a small group of parishioners, functioning as a consultative body to our pastor. Per Canon Law, each parish within the Diocese is required to establish and maintain a Finance Council to assist the pastor in the following areas to:
- Prepare the annual operating budget for the parish
- Monitor ongoing income and expenses
- Advise the pastor on long-term financial planning and related issues
- Address any areas for improvement, as identified by parish audits
- Assist in the preparation of the annual parish financial report, submitted to the Bishop each year
- Help implement new financial policies and processes within the parish
The Finance Council was created in Spring 2007, and current members include:
- Pat Callahan
- Julie Ourada
- Jim Reilly (Finance Council Chair)
- Dick Ryan (Parish Council liaison)
- Alana Welz
