Workshop Descriptions
Parish Administrator's and Treasurer's Workshop
In 2008 the format of the annual treasurer's and administrator's workshop is changing. Instead of a single workshop, we will be offering workshops at the four Regional Faith Formation Events. The workshop features Jim Forsyth, Sarah Crawford, and Charles Ramsden conducting two two-hour sessions. The first session presents information on insurance and administration; the second workshop addresses parochial reports and finance.
