The Finance Committee of St. Joseph Parish carefully and regularly reviews
all financial aspects of parish operations including the church, the
school, the weekly collections, and all fund raising activities, including
the annual Ox Roast Fair. The committee works closely with the Pastor,
the Pastoral Council, and the School Principal in allocating funds for
short and long term obligations and plans to help the parish carry out
its overall mission. Members discuss current and future budgets, diocesan
assessments, capital improvements, parish investments, and strategic
planning.
The Finance Committee meets bi-monthly or as needed (second Monday of month) at 7:00 p.m. in the Parish Center. If your talents and interests would help the Finance Committee, please contact chairperson, Rob Kasubick or the Parish Office.
