How will parish incorporation affect the parish tax status, the Growth & Development program, employee benefits, insurance, and other benefits and services currently provided by the Diocese?
Incorporation will not require parishes to independently obtain IRS approval of the parish’s non-profit status. Such non-profit status already exists and will continue to be granted by virtue of the parish’s listing in the Official Catholic (Kenedy) Directory. Incorporation will not affect any employee health or benefit programs (including employee insurance), the participation of the parish in the Growth & Development program, the procurement of insurance for parishes, or any other financial services provided by the Diocese of Phoenix. Those programs and services will continue to be maintained through the Diocese for the benefit of the parishes. Incorporation also will not change any of the support programs currently available to assist parishes. For example, the parishes will continue to have services provided by the Diocesan finance, buildings & properties, education and evangelization, and legal departments, as under current practice.
