The Finance Council helps the pastor exercise good stewardship of the parish's financial and material resources. Thus, we help determine the fiscal year budget and monitor income and spending throughout the year. We also help make decisions about special projects such as improvements to our physical plant. In addition to monitoring the finances of our parish, we watch those of Corpus Christi School, since it receives substantial subsidies from St. Francis and Our Lady of the Lake parishes.
Have you ever considered serving on the Finance Council? Of course, having a finance or accounting background is useful, but it certainly is not essential. Do you manage your family's finances? Do you have facilities experience that would be valuable for making decisions about maintaining and upgrading our building and grounds? Do you have experience managing a business? Are you good at quantitative analysis? All these qualifications would be valuable also. If you are interested in serving on the Finance Council, please let Fr. Luis know. Council members serve up to two three-year terms. Terms are staggered such that one or two new members will join in a typical year.
The Finance Council meets most months of the year, via zoom. Our meetings generally last one to two hours, and members are e-mailed financial statements and other materials beforehand.
