The Parish Administrative Manual (PAM) is designed to be your one stop shop for all of your parish related needs, enabling you to work independently and efficiently, while remaining in compliance with federal, state, and diocesan policies. To help users successfully navigate it, the PAM is broken down into user based sections, so you know immediately what information is relevant to you. Below are also form fillable .pdf's and a mapping from the Parish Manual of Financial Policies and Procedures (PMFPP) to the new and comprehensive PAM for your convenience.
Remember that we are here to serve, so if there is any question you have that is not answered or made clear in the PAM, let us know and we will work not only to respond to your question, but to provide the next policy and in so doing lay the groundwork to help other parishes on their road to success.
