The Finance Committee is made up of a group of parishioners who are active in the church and school communities and have some expertise in finance. They meet about six times a year and assist the Parish Priest with the administration and raising and allocating parish funds according to the prepared annual budget.
The parish finances come mainly through collections at Sunday Mass. The first collection provides for the priests of the parish, the bishop and retired priests of the diocese. Donations for sacraments are included in this collection. The second collection covers all the costs in running the parish and caring for its assets. Planned Giving envelopes, donations by credit card and rents are part of this collection.
Chairman: Frank Sammut

Wardens take up the collections at Mass. Counters count and record the collections on Sunday mornings. There is also a Counters Roster.
