Diocese of Dallas Policies on
Financial Management and Administration
For Diocesan Entities

The following is a list of policies and related procedures governing financial management and administration of diocesan entities. A diocesan entity (“Entity”) means any parish, parochial school, diocesan high school, seminary, Catholic Charities of Dallas, Inc., St. Joseph’s Residence, Inc., Texas Catholic Newspaper or Calvary Hill Cemetery.

These policies are intended to provide consistent, uniform guidance over the management of the Entity’s financial activities in such a way that our donors, students’ families, clergy, volunteers and employees can be assured of the prudent, ethical, honest management of our financial resources.

No set of policies can cover all circumstances. Each Entity, its clergy, management and employees are expected to use sound, ethical judgment, abide by federal, state and local laws and ordinances,  and certainly follow the Ten Commandments.
