The Finance Council is made up of two Parish Trustees, four to six members chosen from the body of parishioners at-large, the Pastoral Administrator, and the Business Manager. A Parish Pastoral Council (PPC) member is also an ex-officio member of the group. The Finance Council has the following responsibilities to the parish as a whole:
- Reviewing the parish financial statements on a quarterly basis to ensure the financial security of the parish.
- Along with members of the PPC, participate with various staff members and ministry chairs in the preparation of the annual budgets.
- Reviewing the capital budget to ensure adequate funds are available, or appropriate borrowing at reasonable interest rates is available.
- Ensuring that parishioners are adequately informed as to the financial condition of the parish, including year-end reports and the communication of monetary needs.
