As owner of property that has significant monetary value, the Diocese of Laredo has the responsibility to be good stewards of all assets entrusted to the Diocese. We can accomplish this by following the Diocesan Policy and taking advantage of the experts serving the Diocese. Our joint responsibility is to ensure that all construction projects reflect our good stewardship.
Our goal is to make capital improvement projects successful and to avoid delays and budget overruns. Project requestors should avail themselves of diocesan consultants to make sure that all parish construction projects are architecturally and liturgically appropriate and are constructed to the highest standards.
A “Feasibility Study” shall be required for any capital improvement estimated to be $15,000 or more. A “Feasibility Study” shall also be required for multiple capital improvements totaling $15,000 or more within twelve (12) months. Capital improvement projects, architectural firms, and engineering firms must be approved by our Bishop and Fiscal Office prior to the execution of any contracts.
The Diocesan Facilities Manager is available to assist with the process of funding, designing, and building a project. More information on the approval process and an example of a “Feasibility Study” can be found at the “Feasibility Study” and other links below.
Building unity within our diocesan community.
