The 1983 Code of Canon Law directs that all Pastors establish and maintain a Finance Council in the Parish. The Diocese of Dallas has a “Policy on Parish Finance Council Requirements” which further defines the structure, operation, principal functions and goals of the Finance Council with 3-9 voting members.
Its responsibility is to recommend to the Pastor the most prudent and effective manner of providing the fiscal, capital and human resources necessary to the Pastoral mission of the Parish.
