The Diocesan Finance Office assists parish personnel with enrollment and administration of group health insurance, employee retirement, group life insurance, cafeteria plans, and supplemental insurance plans.  Participation in these benefit plans are subject to eligibility guidelines.

The department also assists with background checks for employees and volunteers who work or participate in parish or school activities.
