St. Joseph's Parish Finance Committee is consultative to the pastor. The Finance Committe serves an important function in confirming the financial transactions of the parish. The pastor approves all members, sets the agenda and must be present at all meetings. The group engages in consultation with the pastor regarding matters of finance, budget and fiscal planning. The parish business manager provides regular status reports of the Parish Finance Committee for review. The reports are critical to the members of the Parish Finance Committe for review in assisting the pastor in managing the temporal affairs of the parish. Each year prior to June 1st, the Finance Committee is required to prepare a budget for the entire parish operation, including the school, for the next fiscal year.

Generally members of the Finance Committee have demonstrated expertise in finance. Current members of the Finance Committe are Lester Freeman, Karen Roberson and William Jefferson.

Those interested in this ministry should contact William (Bill) Jefferson at 381-4526.
