Finance
The lay members of the Parish Finance Committee include Oliver Fay, Jim Buckley, Mary Tunney, Susan Reynolds and Theo Orton. The new Committee held its first meeting on 20 September 2010 in Cathedral House.
Last May the outgoing Committee approved work on upgrading the heating system in St. Paul's Church. The process of inviting tenders took place during the summer. The work has begun and will continue in the coming weeks. It will involve connecting to the gas network and the installation of a new boiler. This may result in some disruption; we regret any inconvenience this may cause.
Scaffolding was erected recently to inspect the roof on Cathedral House. Last winter's severe weather seems to have caused damage to the lead and other parts of the roof. In time, a report will be given to the new Finance Committee.
The role of the Finance Committee is advise the parish on how to plan and supervise the finances of the parish to enable the parish to carry out its plan of evangelisation. The two roles of the Finance Committee are fairly simple. The first is to ensure that there are adequate funds coming into the parish to ensure it not only remains viable, but is able to flourish and evangelise. The second is that it must ensure that all funds and resources are used correctly and legally, for the benefit of the parish.
