The Parish Finance Council serves an important role in providing counsel to the pastor.

A pastor is entrusted with running what, in many, cases would be considered a good size business operation.

The pastor is reliant on his trusted advisors to manage the temporal affairs of the parish.

A well structured and effective Finance Council acts as good stewards of the resources that have been entrusted to the parish.

This in turn builds confidence and trust, and allows the parish to accomplish its mission more fully.
