Information for Parishes and Parishioners
The WCC works on behalf of the bishops of Wisconsin with fellow Catholics, Church institutions, other advocacy organizations, and lawmakers to affirm and promote laws that serve human dignity and the common good.
The WCC’s advocacy is guided by Church teaching and its publications also serve as educational resources and advocacy tools for those who want to learn more about an issue or enhance their advocacy efforts. Further the WCC provides parish resources to encourage and guide faithful citizenship and political engagement.

Parish Administrator’s Guide
The Parish Administrator’s Guide is a brief summary of a number of laws and administrative regulations that may affect how parishes operate in Wisconsin. Although each section within the Guide contains specific statutory reference, this reference should not be used as an authoritative source. For more detailed information, consult a licensed attorney or other appropriate counsel.
If you would like to print the Guide as a booklet, select “booklet printing” within your printer’s properties. Make certain that your printer’s input size is set to 8.5 by 11 inches and the output size is set to 11 by 17 inches. You can also print the document as single or double-sided, but you may want to forgo printing the last two pages as they are blank.
