The Parish Finance Council serves as an advisory body to the pastor and the Parish Pastoral Council in the administrative and stewardship of parish finances, budget, parish facilities and long-range financial development. Mandated by Canon Law, Parish Financial Councils, like Pastoral Councils, are consiltative bodies and appointed by the Pastor on the basis of their expertise in matters related to accounting and finance, development, budget, engineering and law.

The Second Vatican Council called for the creation of Parish Pastoral Councils. The role of the Parish Pastoral Council is, through ongoing pastoral planning, to maintain the integrity of the parish mission and the goals and objectives related to it. Within this model, programs and events continue to take place in the parish through the efforts of many dedicated parishioners, always in the context of the parish mission and its pastoral plan.

The Finance and Pastoral Councils function independently, but it is essential that they communicate with one another in furthering the parish mission.
