The relationship between the members of the Parish Finance Council and the pastor demonstrates the sense of church as a community.  By using the various gifts and skills in a collaborative and faithful manner, the members can fulfill their responsibilities by being directed by the values of the Gospel as well as by good business practices. Required by Canon Law, the Parish Finance Council was mandated by Canon Law to be established at every parish.  

The purpose of the Parish Finance Council and business manager is to assist the pastor in his administrative responsibilities through fiscally prudent management of parish finances and in the administration of parish goods and resources. The finance council works closely with the Pastor and business manager to be good stewards of parish funds and safeguard the assets of the parish.
