The Catholic Diocese of Fall River, founded as a non-profit religious institution in 1904, spans across 1,194 square miles in the southeastern region of Massachusetts. It extends its services to a community of 256,000 Catholics through 76 parishes and 11 mission churches, emphasizing Christian principles while providing a wide range of religious events, educational opportunities, and social support services.
Limited budgets and small teams within the 80 parishes of the Diocese hindered efficient financial tracking and internal controls, diverting staff from their core missions and preventing informed financial decisions.
