Jim Vallee, Chairman
The role of the Stewardship Commission is to develop Most Holy Trinity parish as a “total stewardship” parish. As such, Most Holy Trinity is a prayerful, welcoming, Eucharistic-centered community with a common vision: God is the source of all. Its parishioners are committed to furthering the word and work of Christ by caring for each other and all of God’s creation. In gratitude, they joyfully give back a portion of their God-given gifts of time, talent, and treasure.
FINANCE COMMITTEE
Chairperson: Jim Vallee
Mission: The Finance Committee advises the pastor in the execution of the church budget. Its role is to monitor expenses and income to assure that all resources are properly allocated.
The Code of Canon Law requires each parish to have a finance committee. This committee is governed by the norms of the Code, and allows the Christian faithful to be of assistance to the pastor in the administration of parish resources and goods.
The role of the Finance Committee is consultative. It assists the pastor in the preparation of the annual parish budget; reviews monthly financial reports; does consultation on major capital expenditures; advises on fund-raising efforts; reviews and certifies movable inventories; and provides aid and advice in other areas as requested by the pastor.
STEWARDSHIP & DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
Chairperson: Barry Bellina
Mission: To support the mission of Most Holy Trinity Parish through evangelization about the stewardship of time, talent, and treasure.
The Committee is comprised of volunteer lay leadership, the parish clergy, and staff. It reports to the Stewardship Commission of the Most Holy Trinity Parish Pastoral Council. The committee is responsible for development and implementation of the stewardship programs that embrace the spiritual principles of Christian stewardship to meet the following goals:
- Inform our parishioners about the spiritual blessings and material benefits to be derived from Christian stewardship, and educate our parishioners about the scriptural basis for the obligation of every Christian to practice stewardship.
- Inform our parishioners about our parish’s financial needs and the need to support our parish community.
- Provide parishioners and others with various structured opportunities (programs) to afford their time, talents and treasures to Most Holy Trinity Parish. Develop and oversee the implementation of parish stewardship.
- Coordinate the corporate donation portion of the parish events and act in an advisory and support capacity for parish ministries, clubs, and other committees in regard to their events.
- Provides recommendations to the Stewardship Commission, as needed, regarding the development and prioritization of projects related to stewardship that are needed for the long-term viability of the parish.
- Sponsors programs and presentations on Financial Planning, Estate Planning, and Wills. We encourage attendees and others to consider the various ways they can become part of Most Holy Trinity’s future growth. Gifts, grants, annuities, in-kind goods and services, identified and need specific funding and Corporate Sponsor programs are a few of the methods available to those who wish to enhance their Stewardship of Treasure.
- Long range strategic planning is an important aspect of Most Holy Trinity’s “total stewardship” commitment. Scripture tells us it is not prudent to undertake a project until we are assured that adequate resource exists for its completion. It follows that it would be unwise for a viable parish not to include development as part of its “total stewardship” program.
BUILDING AND MAINTENANCE COMMITTEE
Chairperson: TBA
Mission: To advise the pastor and the Executive Committee regarding the building and maintenance of church property. To see to it that, as good stewards, we make the proper and best use of parish resources.
