FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMISSION

The Finance Council is responsible for assuring the necessary human and material 
resources – land, buildings, finances – that will enable the parish to carry on the work of 
Christ.  To a great extent, the effectiveness of the other commissions and of the pastoral
 mission of the Church depend on whether the necessary resources are available to 
operate the programs that are deemed necessary.

This commission is also responsible for reminding parishioners of their duty to return to 
God, as a token of gratitude, part of the material benefits with which they have been blessed.
