Finance
Commission
895-6963 Matt
Burke, Finance Commission Chair
Overview
The Finance Commission has its
responsibility and obligation of short and long term planning, providing
for, and supervising the financial concerns and the physical properties
of the parish. It is concerned with the budget, stewardship, and church
support, and the effective utilization and maintenance of the parish
plant. This committee thus provides the necessary administrative and
financial skills needed to sustain the mission and ongoing development
of the parish community. The Finance Commission facilitates and
communicates with other parish committees to provide for their fiscal
needs. (It should be noted, however, that this committee does not decide
priorities for the parish; this is the responsibility of the Pastoral
Council itself.)
The functions of this committee are:
-
To research, prepare and submit to the
Pastoral Council the annual parish budget for the approaching fiscal
year.
-
To integrate the goal-setting process with
the budget mechanism to insure that financial resources and goals
are compatible.
-
To review periodically actual income and
expenditures of the parish versus budgeted income and expenditures,
and to recommend action when they deviate.
-
To assist in establishing effective means
of raising the funds needed to attain the goals of the parish.
-
To inspect periodically all parish
properties so that they remain in proper repair.
-
To submit a list of priority repairs and
improvements to the Pastoral Council as a guide to the parish
maintenance needs.
-
To take responsibility for care of the
parish grounds, i.e., snow and ice removal, lawn care, etc.
-
To insure that the financial policies of
the parish are in accord with Archdiocesan guidelines.
-
When possible the parish shares its facilities with other community
groups.
