The Business and Finance office has put together an Accounting Policies and Procedures Manual for parishes of the Diocese of Pueblo, Colorado. Each parish should be getting a hard copy of this manual around October 2003. We will be posting any changed pages to this manual on this website. We will also have the whole manual available by chapter here as well. We have used Adobe Acrobat Reader technology to supply the manual. Please call us if you have any questions on how to download this information (a link for the software is available above). Some of the portions of the manual are very large in size, please allow time to download.

The following links will take you to all the portions of the manual:
