THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT OF THE DIOCESE OF GREENSBURG
The Finance Department is commissioned by the diocesan Bishop to carry out his stewardship of the local Church through the care, management, and development of its temporal goods. We achieve this mission by providing accounting, stewardship, and facilities management services for parishes, schools, and diocesan offices.
The parishes and schools throughout the Diocese benefit from the following services provided by the diocesan Finance Office:
- Manage the Catholic Institute, a savings and loan organization, whereby parishes and schools invest cash reserves and may borrow money at reasonable rates for special projects and other purposes.
- Oversee the parish financial review process, which is an on-going bi-annual audit process, to increase awareness of the ministry of parish finance councils through continued education of the published diocesan norms on finance councils, “The Ministry of Fiscal Management.”
- Coordinate a payroll and benefits program for more than 1,600 parish, school and Pastoral Center employees.
- Administer liability, property, worker’s compensation, and diocesan auto insurance programs for all parishes.
- Assist in the administration of The Catholic Foundation, which provides a valuable service to those parishes and schools that have endowments.
- Process the payment of invoices for the Pastoral Center, Greensburg Central Catholic Junior-Senior High School, Geibel Catholic Junior-Senior High School and the Christ Our Shepherd Center.
