The Parish Finance Council is a very important committee that is required by canon law (Canon 537). The council assists the pastor or administrator and offers financial advice on the use and management of the parish resources.
The Parish Finance Council is separate from the Parish Pastoral Council, and each has a different and specific role in the life and operation of the Parish. But they work cooperatively, in accordance with their respective roles. While the purpose of the Pastoral Council is to work with the pastor or administrator to set priorities for the Parish. The Finance Council works with the pastor or administrator to determine how to implement those Parish priorities from a financial perspective.
