The Finance Committee is separate from the Parish Council and responsible directly to the Pastor.  The role of the Finance Committee is mandated in law to have an advisory and consultative role with the Pastor.  Both the Pastor and the Finance Committee are bound to fulfill their duties in the name of the Church.
