About Us

135 YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE CHURCH

Catholic Mutual Group was established as The Catholic Mutual Relief Society of America in 1889 by a group of Midwest Catholic Bishops who were unable to obtain reasonably priced, reliable coverage for their church properties.

Over the years, at the request of our members, the program was expanded to include liability, employee benefits, and excess liability pools.

From these humble beginnings, Catholic Mutual Group has grown to be the largest provider of property/casualty coverage and related services to Catholic Dioceses, Religious Orders, and other Catholic Institutions, in North America.
