Parish Pastoral Councils

Pastors establish councils because they seek practical, wise and prudent advice on pastoral matters. Parishioners want to be of service to the pastor and the parish community. Council members have the satisfaction of doing an important task and contributing to the well- being of the Church. Serving on councils provides them this opportunity.

Parish Finance Councils

As set forth in canon law, the Archdiocese requires that every parish have a Finance Council to assist the pastor in the administration of the goods of the parish (canon 537). The parish Finance Council is accountable to the pastor who has the responsibility for final decisions.
