Parish Finance Council

The Parish Finance Council is a consultative body of lay persons mandated by Canon law to advise the Pastor in matters pertaining to the financial affairs of the Parish.

Canon 537: "Each parish is to have a Finance Council which is regulated by universal law as well as by the norms established by the Diocesan Bishop; in the Council, the Christian faithful, selected according to the same norms, aid the Pastor in the administration of the parish goods with due regard for the prescription of Canon 532."

The Pastor has authority from the Bishop and the universal law of the Church to decide and act on behalf of the Parish (Canon 532). The Parish Finance Council is advisory to the Pastor and it's decisions/recommendations are valid only when accepted by the Pastor. It is important, therefore, that the Pastor be central to the deliberations and the functioning of the Parish Finance Council. The relationship between the Council is one of support and mutual cooperation.
