Policy Manual of the Diocese of Fargo

This page provides links to the current policies of the Diocese of Fargo.  The policy manual is undergoing updates at the present time, so it is neither perfect nor absolutely accurate.  Policies promulgated in 1989 are presumed to be in force unless a subsequent policy has changed them.  When in doubt, please notify the Vicar General’s office, which is responsible for updating and maintaining the policy manual at this time.

Your patience is appreciated during this process.  There are bits of policy in force, but not yet formally listed here, which will be added as sections are updated.  So, if you see something essential missing, please inform the Vicar General’s office.

Constructive comments are welcome during the course of the updating process.

The ‘official’ copy of the policies are found here.  If you maintain a local printout, it should be modified to agree with the contents of this page.

For convenience, separate links to more recent policies are included below. These policies are also included in each major section.
