Risk Management

Self-Insurance Program

The Self-Insurance Program provides Property, General Liability (including directors and officers, and errors and omissions), Automobile Liability, Workers’ Compensation, and Crime coverage under one comprehensive plan for all Diocesan entities.  As used in the Self-Insurance Program Guide (see the link below), “Diocesan entities” includes all parishes/missions, schools, agencies, and cemeteries.  Premiums collected by the Diocese are used to pay losses incurred, necessary administrative services, and purchase excess insurance to cover catastrophes. 

For the continued safety and health of employees, parishioners/visitors, and students of the Diocese, the Self-Insurance Program requires that all employees share an increased awareness and responsibility for establishing and maintaining safe and healthful environments through ongoing risk management efforts and the prompt correction of improper, hazardous, or unsafe conditions.
