On March 11, 2021 we hosted a webinar on Financial Transparency for Parishes, as part of the series Building a Transparent & Accountable Church.

A discussion of precise challenges faced by parishes – pastors, staff, and parishioners – with specific recommendations. What does financial accountability look like at the parish level? How should the parish finance council be constructed and what are its primary responsibilities? What are the obligations of the pastor to parishioners and his bishop?
