Finances

Funds collected during weekend liturgies are used to operate and maintain parish facilities where children and adults praise God and learn about the faith. Sunday offerings provide for materials, supplies and building utilities and compensate parish employees. The Parish Finance Commission meets regularly with the pastor to discuss all aspects of the administration of parish finances.
