The Santa Clara Parish Finance Council is a consultative body that advises the Pastor in financial matters related to Santa Clara Parish, Chapel and School.  The finance council is canonically mandated (Canon 537) and is largely concerned with the temporal goods (the buildings, collections, compensation and such) of the parish community.

The responsibilities of the  Santa Clara Finance Council include:

• Approve annual budgets 
• Review annual diocesan financial reports (Church, Chapel and School)
• Monitor financial trends 
• Attend ADLA Finance Council Annual Meetings with the Archbishop and CFO
• Prepare and publish an annual financial report
• Recommend school tuition schedules
• Annual review of compensation
• Recommend investment positions of savings with the ADLA
• Review of all projects exceeding $20,000

Members of the Parish Finance Council are appointed by the Pastor for renewable two-year terms.  The Santa Clara Business Manager is an ex-officio member and serves as a resource to the Finance Council.
