ENDOWMENT COMMITTEE

This committee seeks ways to maintain and even enhance the beauty of our recently restored church building and property so that generations to come may be able to worship God in a truly dignified space. An annual collection has been established for this purpose.

FINANCE COMMITTEE

A parish finance committee will be concerned with Parish resources, budgets, and Church support. The responsibilities include an annual financial report to the archdiocese as well as financial reports to the parish. The committee exercises oversight of revenues and expenditures and renders financial advice and recommendations to the pastor for the budget and financial resources of the parish.

The committee works closely with each of the Commissions to establish and monitor an annual budget for both revenues and expenses within the framework of the parish and archdiocese. Once this budget is approved, it then becomes the responsibility of the Finance Committee members to provide regular feedback to each of their assigned Commissions regarding the status of their budget.

Monthly meetings help keep the members informed as to upcoming capital expenditures and unforeseen expenses as well as newly established programs that may impact the parish financially. When needed, the Finance Committee will provide financial information to the Stewardship Committee in order that they may better inform parishioners regarding the financial livelihood of the parish and establish a basis for emphasizing stewardship. Members should have background in business, finance, and/or accounting.
