The Finance Council provides advice and guidance to the pastor in the administration of parish assets. It prepares the parish budget, any budgets for extraordinary expenditures, and reviews financial statements. The Council monitors the financial condition of the parish, including regular financial reviews/audits as well as the internal financial controls by following the recommendations in the audit/review. The Council reviews any indebtedness of the parish and assists the pastor in fulfilling his obligations under canon law to pay the interest on a loan or mortgage when it is due and to take care that the capital debt itself is repaid in due time. The Council provides assistance in the formulation and communication of an annual financial report to the parish community as required by canon law. It is the consultative body in all parish financial matters, except to the extent limited by church or civil law or Archdiocesan policy/norms.
