Finance Committee

The Finance Council is an integral part of the Stewardship responsibilities of the parish. The council as­sists the pastor in his deliberation and decision-making process in order to serve the needs of the par­ish in the prudent administration of its resources and funds. The council functions within the guidelines of the Financial Policies and Procedures for parishes published by the Diocese of Venice. The Finance Council is a consultative group that interacts closely with the Pastoral and Stewardship Councils to assure the pastor and parish membership that the finances are available to support parish goals and objectives. The major responsibilities of the Council are to: assist the pastor in the preparation of the annual budget, assist the pastor in the preparation of the annual and quarterly reports to the parish, review parish revenues and expense reports quarterly and make recommendation as necessary, and assist the pastor in any and all matters pertaining to the financial operation and well-being of the par­ish.
