| In
1966, several Christian Brothers schools in the Chicagoland
area joined together to purchase an employee benefits
package for their employees. The original group continued
to grow as other schools and institutions became
aware of the cost savings from participating with
a larger group. The Christian Brothers Employee Benefit
Trust was established on January 1, 1977, as a means
to provide a comprehensive package of employee benefits
to the employees of Catholic institutions registered
in the Kenedy Official Catholic Directory nationwide.
Health Benefits are an important component of
compensation for all employees. The Christian Brothers
Diocesan Clergy Program provides medical, RX,
vision, dental, long-term disability, and term
life insurance
coverage to the employees of participating Catholic
Church entities. Due to our low administrative
costs and cost-containment provisions, the Trust
makes it possible for Catholic employers to offer
a comprehensive benefits program at reasonable
costs.
In recent years it has become increasingly apparent
that the needs of the Diocesan clergy are not always
well satisfied by the benefit programs designed
primarily for the lay employees of the Diocese.
To meet these needs, we have designed a benefit
program which we offer exclusively to Diocesan
clergy.
