Finance Council
The Parish Finance Council is a mandatory, consultative body in every parish, ordained by Canon 537 of the 1983 Code of Canon Law to advise the pastor on the administration of parish goods and temporal affairs.
The Finance Council of Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish serves as a trusted advisory body that supports the pastor in the responsible stewardship of the parish’s financial resources. Rooted in our Catholic values and committed to transparency, accountability, and prudent planning, the Council helps ensure that the parish remains strong, sustainable, and ready to carry out its mission of worship, service, and evangelization.

Through careful review, thoughtful recommendations, and a shared commitment to good stewardship, the Council helps guide decisions that serve the parish community today and strengthen it for the future.
