The new updated Parish Administration & Finance Manual (cover shown at right) has been published!

The promulgation date of this Manual was February 15, 2008.

The updated Manual is the result of an important collaboration of clergy, parish lay leadership, and Diocesan staff and reflects the best practices of our own parishes, the not-for-profit world, and guidance from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.

The Parish Administration & Finance Manual is part of the Six Key Elements, the Diocese of Bridgeport's ongoing commitment to improving and enhancing financial controls at the parish and diocesan levels.

Manual chapters (in Adobe PDF) are available for download below.

If you have difficulty accessing and or printing these chapters, please call Ellen Rogowski in Parish Finance Services: (203) 416-1435.
