The Office of Human Resources supports our most valuable asset: the dedicated employees who minister within the Diocese of Spokane. Our goal is to provide tools, policies, and information to assist your day-to-day employment relationship in your school, parish, or other ministry. Our office serves the human resource needs for over 800 parish, school, and special ministry employees in the areas of policies, pay, recruiting and hiring, benefits, job descriptions, performance management, conflict resolution, investigations, legal compliance, and employee coaching and training.
Our goals are to:
- ensure that personnel policies and programs are understood and display the appropriate degree of consistency throughout the diocese
- address the human resources challenges facing our local church
- serve all employees and others with whom we associate in a professional and respectful manner
- support and guide pastors, principals, and department heads in their efforts to lead and empower those who work with them in their mission
- honor each employee’s role and sense of vocation
I welcome your comments, questions, and suggestions!
Equal Opportunity Statement
The Diocese promotes equal opportunity in all employment decisions and does not unjustly or unlawfully discriminate against any employee on the basis of race, national origin, sex, disability or medical condition, age, religion, veteran’s status, genetic information, marital status or any other criteria protected by federal and state law.
The Diocese reserves the right to favor Catholic applicants and to consider Catholic teachings in employment decisions that directly impact the church’s pastoral mission. Our equal opportunity policy reflects the broader vision of diversity embodied in statements from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, such as “We welcome qualified individuals with disabilities to professional service in the Church,” Welcome and Justice for Persons with Disabilities, USCCB, Nov. 1998, and “the presence of brothers and sisters from different cultures should be celebrated as a gift to the Church…” Welcoming the Stranger Among Us: Unity in Diversity, USCCB, Nov. 2002.
