ST. JOSEPH CATHOLIC CHURCH FINANCE COUNCIL |
PARISH MISSION STATEMENT The Finance Councils fulfill two purposes. The first is to provide a means by which the Pastor receives expert help in caring for the temporal goods of the parish. The second is that it fosters a climate of openness and participation. A well-utilized Finance Council is ensuring the adherence to responsible financial policies and avoidance of illegal practices. By fulfilling these two purposes, the finance council assures that the parish’s temporal resources are properly maintained and utilized. As a result, the parish community may stay focused on its primary mission, which is the building of the kingdom of God. |
