The Parish Finance Council instigates and maintains a financial management system for the parish including a budget. The Council works within parameters of current assets, projected income and expenditure and material parish needs. It monitors and reviews income and expenditure on a monthly basis. It makes recommendations to safeguard and maintain parish assets, both real and fixed, and also ensures appropriate health and safety standards are met on parish property. The Council is a consultative body and as such strives to operate in a supportive and collaborative role with the Parish Priest in the interests of the parish and within guidelines laid down by the archdiocese. This in keeping with the co-responsibility of the laity in the mission and ministry of the Church.

Members of the Parish Finance Council are appointed by the parish priest. They should be able persons with a good sense of stewardship who have a keen sense of parish interests.

If you are such a person, and feel you able to assist with this ministry of stewardship, do not hesitate to talk to Fr Charles Gauci or a member of the committee.
