The Office of Administration and Finance oversees the financial and administrative operations of the Diocese and assists parishes with stewardship, administration and financial oversight, including insurance (property and health), personnel, compensation, taxes, investments, property, and loans.
There are several people on the diocesan staff who would be glad to speak with you or make a presentation at your church about stewardship (whether on stewardship as a way of life and a response to God's blessings) or about the annual parish pledge drive, a capital campaign, or planned giving. People will also be glad to make a presentation on stewardship of the environment, your physical plant, or of other resources. There is a diocesan stewardship committee that meets regularly, promotes regional stewardship events, and hosts an annual diocesan stewardship conference. There is also a Planned Giving Committee and a Committee on the Environment.
