"The 1983 Code of Canon Law has introduced a new and separate consultative body to parish life.  Each parish is to have a Finance Council which is regulated by universal law as well as by norms issued by the diocesan bishop."

The purpose of the Parish Finance Council is to provide the pastor with a group of Christian faithful who will aid him in the administration of parish goods according to these norms.

While distinct from the Pastoral Council of the parish, this Finance Council is to serve the goals and objectives set forth by the Pastoral Council, both being guided by the mission statement of the parish." (Austin Diocese Synod)

The Members of St. Mary's Finance Council are:

Kenneth Swick (Chairman)
Michael Gordon
James Kloss
James Yezak

We welcome Michael Gordon to the Finance Council Membership beginning January 2022.  We thank Sam Lott for years of valued service with the Finance Council as we continue to pray for his health.  God speed!

Membership is by appointment of the Pastor for a minimum of a three (3) year term or at the discertion of the pastor.  Excluded from membership are those who could have a conflict of interest.
