Maintaining and developing the Parish, its facilities and enabling its mission to be fulfilled successfully requires careful stewardship of its financial resources. The Finance Committee supports the Parish Priest in this vital function.
The Parish Finance Committee exists to assist the parish priest in promoting the financial health of the parish, assuring accountability and assisting the parish priest with his temporal responsibilities.
The Parish priest is accountable to the Bishop for the administration and stewardship of the temporal goods of the parish. The Parish Finance Committee is an advisory and consultative body that exists to assist the parish priest in meeting these obligations.
In December 1917, at the invitation of Fr O’Grady, the Sisters of Mercy, opened their convent in Cambridge Park, the stables being converted into a temporary Church.
Later, the foundation stone of Our Lady of Lourdes Wanstead was blessed by Arthur Doubleday, the then Bishop of Brentwood, in July 1927.
The Church has been sustained by the people of God here in Wanstead for 100 years. Long may the faith continue to grow and thrive here.
