The council is not responsible for fundraising, but may make recommendations for this to the Parish Council. The Finance Council provides the Parish Council with regular reports on parish finances. The council assists other parish organizations with their budgets and financial reporting.

Council of Catholic Women (PCCW)
Sacred Heart's Parish Council of Catholic Women (PCCW) was reestablished in 2014 to support the parish through use of time, talent and treasure. As one of the parish's prominent service organizations, PCCW sponsors the annual Turkey Dinner Silent Auction, assembles Christmas and Easter baskets for less-fortunate families, collects donations for local newborns, and purchases Lighthouse Media CDs. Some of the most demanding work done by PCCW is executed behind the scenes-- the organization of funeral dinners to assist those in their darkest time of need. PCCW members communicate via telephone, email, Facebook, and word-of-mouth. Contact Annisa Parrish for more information! https://www.facebook.com/groups/1464032280516415/
