Request Financial Assistance for Basic Needs?

Request Reimbursement of Funds or Expenses?

Before incurring any expense for which parish payment or reimbursement is expected, you must receive appropriate approval for the expenditure. Appropriate approval is generally from the organization president or treasurer (e.g., Women’s Association) or a designated staff member (e.g. Family Life/Youth Minister) who will ensure the expense is authorized and within the parish budget. Please see your individual group or ministry leader regarding parish reimbursement procedures and to ensure the expense is within budget prior to making any purchases.

Make Checks Out for Parish Groups and Activities?

St. Mary Parish uses a fund accounting system to track and monitor all income and expenses of the parish, its groups, and activities. Groups and organizations within the parish do not hold separate checking accounts. As such, all checks should be made out to St. Mary Parish.
