What is the Finance Council?

The Finance Committee directs strategic financial direction to the parish.  The Council reviews the quarterly operating results and financial resources of the parish, reviews and approves its annual budget, sets guidelines for the expenditures of discretionary funds and periodically reviews the internal controls of the parish.

The Council is actively involved in financial planning for the parish building initiatives. Learn more by reading the Parish Finance Council By-Laws.
