By partnering with PrimePay, the staff of Archdiocese of Philadelphia has been able to spend less time in their offices and more time where it counts. We’ve handled the payroll, HR and benefit standardization needs for over 200 of their parishes and schools. This understanding of the unique benefits and system needs of parish payrolls has made us a great partner for many schools and parishes nationwide.
The Archdiocese of Philadelphia
The first Philadelphia Catholic church was built in 1733. By 1790, the Catholic population increased from 40 to 8,000 people. Today, the Archdiocese of Philadelphia provides pastoral care for nearly 1.4 million Catholics in the region. That region includes the City and County of Philadelphia as well as surrounding suburban counties.
In addition to its administrative offices, it is composed of 217 parishes, 120 regional and parish Catholic elementary schools, 17 high schools, four schools of special education, and an extensive social services ministry.
The Archdiocese also features a seminary that educates and forms men for service in the Roman Catholic Priesthood. Through its central operation and various related entities, the Archdiocese employs approximately 13,000 people in the Philadelphia area.
Their mission is to commit themselves to inviting the human community to share their faith and mission, serve their communities, particularly the poor and needy, by generous acts of charity and by working together with all people of good will for justice and peace, and more.
