Purpose
|
|
The Finance and Administration Committee has as its primary purpose to facilitate parish participation in the four-fold mission of Jesus Christ to celebrate, proclaim, build community, and serve.
The Finance and Administration Committee has as its responsibility the obligation of planning, providing for and supervising the financial affairs and the physical properties of the parish. It is concerned with the budget, stewardship and church support, and the effective utilization and maintenance of the parish plant. This committee thus provides the necessary administrative and financial skills needed to sustain the mission and ongoing development of the parish community. (It should be noted, however, that this committee does not decide priorities for the parish; this is the responsibility of the pastoral council itself).
