Pastoral and Finance Councils

The Parish Pastoral Council and the Parish Finance Council are advisory to the pastor. Each one having their specific roles and functions are nonetheless partners in mission for the greater good of the vitality and vibrancy of the pastoral life of the parish. The Second Vatican Council reaffirmed that laity claim their baptismal call to participate in the life of the Church and parish. “The laity’s action within Church communities is so necessary that without it the apostolate of the pastors will frequently be unable to obtain its full effect.” (On the Apostolate of the Laity, ¶ 10)

While the pastoral council is responsible in assisting the pastor in recommending a course of action for the future, the finance council is responsible in assisting the pastor in ensuring that sufficient resources are available and allocated appropriately especially in regard to any pastoral planning goals and objectives brought forth by the pastoral council.
