5. Chapter 1: Introduction: The Role of a Financial Secretary

Hello, I'm Gary Nolan, Vice President for Fraternal Training and Ceremonials. Let's talk about the important and unique leadership role of the financial secretary. A council's ability to respond and adapt to the needs and conditions in its area of service defines the identity of that council. Pope Francis spoke of our duty to be of service. He said, "Fraternal relations between people and cooperation in building a more just society, these are not just an idealistic dream but the fruit of a concerted effort on the part of all in service of the common good." The service he speaks of is not simply writing of a check. Primarily it is how we fraternally respond together through our councils to help the people in our parishes and communities and those in desperate need around the world. To be fraternal and in service for the common good, then your council must be on a solid footing from the standpoint of number of members and financial readiness. Supreme Knight Carl Anderson spoke of the mission and duty of councils.

"Let us take the call of both Father McGivney and Pope Francis to heart and live out charity to our neighbor in unity with our church and our Holy Father and in the spirit of fraternity." As financial secretary, you have been selected by your council and appointed by the supreme knight. You were selected because of your talents, professionalism, accuracy, strong organizational skills, and timeliness. Because of your abilities, your council will be financially strong and able to conduct charitable projects in your parish and community.
