Finance
Responsibilities include the preparation of budgets, monitoring of expenditure and income, keeping systems for the counting and recording of monies, promotion and management of the Gift Aid scheme, the presentation of regular financial statements to the Parish Priest, to the Parish Council and to parishioners and the submission of an annual report to the Archdiocese of Birmingham.
Parish Council

It has representatives from the various specific committees and groups and co-ordinates the views of the clergy and laity so as to facilitate communications throughout the Parish.
