Our Mission
The Office of Risk Management is charged with the development, implementation and administration of loss control and risk management programs, as well as procuring insurance, in accordance with the requirements set forth in Canon Law 1284. In part that provision requires that every effort is made to (1) “exercise vigilance so that the goods entrusted to their care are in no way lost or damaged, taking out insurance policies for this purpose insofar as necessary; (2) take care that the ownership of ecclesiastical goods is protected by civilly valid methods; and (3) observe the prescripts of both canon and civil law or those imposed by a founder, a donor, or legitimate authority, and especially be on guard so that no damage comes to the Church from the non-observance of civil laws.”

Our Goal
The goal of the Office of Risk Management is ensure the strong stewardship of assets acquired through the generosity of many by reducing hazards, minimizing risk and keeping Archdiocesan property and casualty costs to a minimum.

Boy Scouts of America Charter Agreement 2023-2024

To align our chartering agreements with the BSA, all agreements should run from March 1 till the following March 1st. Therefore, chartering organizations are to confirm that a completed and signed 3/1/2023 – 3/1/2024 agreement is in place. If you do not have an agreement in place or the one you have in place does not show the dates of 23-24 at the bottom an updated agreement is to be executed and kept on file by the parish and a copy provided to the troop and the local BSA council.
