Finance Office

The Finance Office is responsible for managing the temporal resources of the entire diocese. This includes the administration of all the investments of the diocese, as well as the operating and capital budgets for the diocesan administration. The Finance Office staff is available to assist parishes, schools, and cemeteries in the area of stewardship and financial administration. The office also provides administrator services for the Central Fund Trust, pooled investments, and gift transactions. All diocesan entities are encouraged to contact the Finance Office with questions on accounting, financial reporting, and finance policy matters.
