The Diocese of Crookston obtains its property and liability insurance through the Catholic Mutual Relief Society. 

Catholic Mutual Group web site: authorized parish personnel have access to the Members Only section. This section contains lots of great risk management information on over a dozen topics, such as employee safety, parish festival safety, and parish nurse/health ministry. The entire School Safety Resource Manual is here. Parishes can also complete their Self-Inspection Report at this site. Contact the Office of Parish Administration for login information.
