The role of the Finance Council is primarily to provide financial oversight of the income and expenses for the parish.  It is a requirement by the Diocese of Orlando to have a finance committee.

Six to nine appointed members assist the pastor and the Office Manager in overseeing the parish finances.   They have bi- monthly meetings to provide the following assistance to the parish:

• Preparation of the parish annual budget by forecasting expenditures and the expected revenue for the year.
• Approve the budget.
• Monitor adherence to the budget.
• Create, approve, and update (as necessary) policies that help ensure the assets of the parish.
• Ensure approved financial policies and procedures are being followed.
• Watches over financial reporting, the creation and monitoring of internal controls and accountability policies to comply with Diocesan policies.
• They manage the collection and accounting each weekend of the offertories.
• Approval of major expense for the parish
