      Parish+School Insights Conference (P+SIC)

      Parish Support in RCAA hosts a semi-annual P+SIC meeting for business managers and finance team members of parishes, schools and missions.  

      One meeting is a full day conference held at the Chancery (typically in June) and the other meeting is a shorter online conference typically held in November. 

      The conference is carefully curated to provide important and timely information. A typical agenda includes updates from internal audit, treasury, banking, accounting and systems. Catholic Mutual Group insurance representatives may also be on the agenda, along with other archdiocesan departments including Human Resources, Communications, Information Technology and more.  

      See below for past presentations and videos from our most recent P+SIC conferences and check the Pastoral Communiqué and calendar for information on upcoming conferences.
