Parish Finance Council Purpose:

The Code of Canon Law requires each parish to have a Finance Council.  This council, governed by the norms of the Code, allows the Christian faithful to be of assistance and consultative to the pastor in the administration of parish goods.
The pastor is expected to give due consideration to the advice of the council; however, the pastor alone, in concert with the pertinent regulations of the archdiocese, has the ultimate responsibility for all decisions affecting the finances of the parish.
