“The kingly mission includes the assistance which Christ’s faithful, according to their gifts, their office in the Church, and their state of life, give to the pastor in the administration of the temporal goods of the Church.”

“In order to give form and stability to the assistance offered by Christ’s faithful to their pastor in the administration of the parish’s temporal goods, The Code of Canon Law requires that each parish in a diocese have a parish finance council (Canon 537). The parish finance council is to be governed by universal Church law and by norms given by the Diocesan Bishop (Canon 537)."
