Parochial Report Forms & Instructions
Parochial reports are required to be filed online with The Episcopal Church (TEC) using their website: pr.dfms.org/ (login information remains the same each year; if needed please contact the Diocesan finance office) . A signed hard copy is required to be filed with the Diocesan Finance Office. Deadline for electronic filing of your parochial report with TEC is March 1st, and deadline for filing of the signed hard copy with the Diocesan Finance Office is May 1.
In the last quarter of each year, TEC’s Research and Statistics office sends out an email to each congregation in our Diocese, containing information on how to file the parochial report and instructions, specific to your church. If you do not receive the email, you should contact the Diocesan Finance Office (609-460-5401) or [email protected]).
For reference purposes, below you will find the links to the forms and instructions:
