Risk Management

Catholic Mutual Group was established in 1889 by a group of Catholic bishops who were unable to obtain reasonably priced, reliable insurance for parishes. As part of the Catholic Church, the Catholic Mutual Group is the leading provider of property, liability, and employee benefit coverage and related services for the Catholic Church in North America. We can be reached locally at (608) 821-4566.
