The St. Michael Finance Council is appointed by the pastor and serves as a fiscal management advisory board. It is comprised of engaged, active parishioners with interests and experiences in the business world.
As stated in the Catholic Diocese of Richmond's Called to Stewardship document,
It is though the talents of these members of our parish laity that the funds and financial resources of our parishes are to be safeguarded and utilized in the best interests of the parish mission statement...We must take every precaution to see that the contributed parish funds are protected and used as donors intended.
