The Finance Council
Members: Father
Forsyth, Jim Tessman, Don Duman,
Matt Fortney, Vern
Maxwell (Trustee), and Karen Rock (Trustee)
The 1983 Canon Law of the Church prescribes that
every parish establish a Finance Council (canon 537) directly responsible
for the parish finances.
Membership consists of no less than 3 and no more
than 7 members directly appointed by the Pastor and should include persons
skilled in business, finance, law, and accounting.
The council should meet quarterly at the call of
the Pastor and is advisory to him.
Presently, we are searching
for a member educated in the law.
If you would like to serve on
the Finance Council, speak with our pastor.
