 The Finance Office is the Diocesan Office that receives parish assessments, investment income and other revenues to fund the ministries of the Bishop and his staff and the administration of the Diocese. The Finance Office also supports the benefit and insurance plan offices and provides printing and mailing services for the Diocesan offices and other diocesan and non-profit entities. Please call the contact persons listed in these pages if we can serve you in any way. John R. Maimone, Chief Financial Officer The Finance Office of the Diocese of Cleveland has placed its audited financial report on the web site. These statements capture diocesan revenues, primarily parish assessments and investment income. They also show how these funds are used to support the ministries of the Bishop and the administrative work of the diocesan offices.
The Finance Office joins Catholic Charities and the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland Foundation in publishing audited financial statements on their web sites. Making more information available to the members of our church is an important objective for our diocese. Previously, the Finance Office had only published their financial statements in the Universe Bulletin. Increased reporting is an important element of stewardship.
The Catholic community of northeast Ohio consists of good and generous people. Their donations fund significant activities from parishes to schools to the human services entities of Catholic Charities. Collectively, these activities are an important part of the local economy. We will continue to share more information so that you can better understand how important your contributions are in supporting good works, God's work, in our communities: worship, education and human services.
