Finance Council

 

The Finance Council purpose is to assist and advise the Pastor and the Parish Business Manager with stewardship of the temporal afairs of the parish. 

The following is a letter from the Finance Council Chair: 

Dear Fellow Parishioners: 

As Finance Council Chair, allow me to welcome you to this link.  One of our goals is to keep parishioners and web-site visitors as up-to-date as possible with the financial affairs of St. Columban Parish.   

Thank you for your past and current generous support of the St. Columban Parish.  We are blessed with many members who have fully embraced the Gospel’s message of stewardship.  Without such faith-filled persons, our parish could not nor would not thrive. Thanks again for your time, talent and treasure.  

If you have concerns or comments that you would like addressed, feel free to e-mail me or any one of the council members by clicking on one of the names listed below in the Finance Members section.  We promise a prompt response.

Finance Minutes

The November 2009 meeting honed in on the primary variance from budget that it continues to be the significant shortfall in Sunday collections. The new school boiler has been installed. Cash has been received from the PTO and funds in the school account were used to fund the rest of the payment.A full financial report on school and parish operations will be presented at the end of the fiscal year.
 
Patrick will make assignments for members of Finance Council to pair up with various cost center managers for discussion of the budgeting process. Initial conversations will center on the nature and structure of budget reports. To learn more, please read the November 2009 finance minutes.

At the October 2009 meeting, the Finance Council was advised of an upcoming meeting between Fr. Larry, David Mattei (Capital Campaign), Patrick Lesher (Business Mgr), Michael Brock (Stewardship) and Don Kruse (Finance).  The meeting (in Father Larry’s words,) is to: "share information." 

Also, the financial affairs of any group or organization affiliated with the parish must be managed in compliance with the Archdiocese Temporal Affairs Document.  Patrick is at work on a letter that will be sent to those groups to have them all use a similar reporting format and each group report on a “to be determined” interval.

Read these and more in the approved October 20, 2009 Finance Council Minutes (pdf).
