FINANCE COUNCIL
The Finance Council (FC) is required by Canon Law to advise and assist the pastor in

PARISH PLANNING & BUILDING COMMITTEE
Purpose: The Parish Planning & Building Committee was created to assist the Parish in the
development of a long-range plan for the maintenance and upkeep of our facilities. The
committee has drafted a letter to Bishop Larry stating that we would like to proceed with
our plans of staying here on property and rebuilding using the current facilities and move the
rectory offsite. The letter of intent requests that we proceed with the development of an A & E site study to determine the feasibility of expanding our current worship facility.

PARISH COUNCIL - COUNCIL OF MINISTRIES
Purpose: The Parish Council or the Council of Ministries is a group of people who represent the
parish and assist in the growth of the church community. They are usually a head representative from the different ministries of the parish. They are to assist the pastor with long-term planning and other duties. They are tasked with developing a 5 year plan for the parish. This 5 year plan is based on the 2106-2010 Diocesan Pastoral Plan Stewards of the Gospel (click here to download full document)
which has four main priorities: Faith Formation, Leadership Development, Strengthening of Marriage and Family Life and Youth and Young Adult Ministry.
​
Planning & Implementing: A main duty of the parish council is to put together pland and priorties for the parish community. It may set policies for council members and the church as a whole, and it is responsible for making sure that programs that are planned are implemented.
​
Involvement & Decisions: A parish council must be sure to involve everybody in its work, such as involving the other church members in decisions. Asking the church members what they think of a particular idea is a good way to get everyone involved.
​
Cooperation & Contribution: The members of a parish council must be sure they cooperate well with the diocesan departments and with other parishes. They also contribute to the goals of the diocese and manage the land, buildings and property of the parish.
