Parish Finance Council

Our parish is large and diverse with many demands on its finances. The parish finance council assists the parish priest in regard to his responsibilities for financial and administrative matters. The role of the council is to provide the parish priest with valuable insight and advice so that he may act more effectively in the interests of the parish. Primary duties of the council are to set yearly budgets, ensure expenditure is kept within budget, provide income and revenue streams to sustain our expenditure and ensure parish infrastructure is maintained. The council actively promotes the planned giving scheme to assist in sound financial planning. The finance council may be contacted through the chairperson: Mr John Ward.
