(Church) Law requires that “In each Parish there is to be
a finance committee to help the parish priest in the
administration of the goods of the parish.” (Code of
Canon Law 537). The Parish Finance Committee is consulted
before any major item of expenditure is incurred. They
advise the Parish priest on the ongoing maintenance of the
Church, Presbytery and Hall as well as overseeing any
building projects on these.
On a continuing basis the Finance Committee
is responsible for ensuring that proper records of income
and expenditure are maintained and that an account of
administration is given to the parishioners at the end of
each financial year. The Finance Committee also has a
responsibility to ensure that the parish income remains in
line with rising costs. With this in mind the Committee
continues to promote the Weekly Offertory Envelope
Collection and the Gift Aid Scheme which is making a
significant contribution to parish funds. |
