Parish Administration


The administrative side of managing a parish ranges from property, finances and people. There are a range of documents to support parishes in carrying out the day to day operational functions of parish life.

Parish Password Policy

Electronic files and emails in their many forms are essential for the running of day to day activities and the functioning of the Diocese.  Strong passwords are a vital and simple way of protecting electronic records. Current good practice suggests minimum standards for the complexity and age of passwords.
