Parrish Committees

Finance Committee

The Saint Benedict finance council is a group of parishioners who meet every month to give the pastor financial advice - They balance the books and help to ensure the parishes income is properly budgeted and the finances are wisely invested. They submit balance sheets and financial reporting on the health of the parish so obviously their work extends far beyond the monthly meeting time.

Unlike the Parish Council the members are decided by nomination instead of election.

 
Parish Council

The parish council is made up of a a combination of elected and appointed members. Three members at large are elected by the parish each summer and the members agree to a 3 year term. Making up the balance of the council are the Pastor, Associate Pastor, Deacon and each year there is a member appointed by the Pastor. Other ministerial groups will assign non-voting representatives to the Council in order to bring attneiotn to the parish of the effrots and specific needs of the gorups.

The work of this council is to bring to the attention any issues brought up by parishioners or other ministries. They also work with the Pastor to bring advice or act as a sounding board for any ideas or plans brought up for the parish.
