This office, established in
1948, is charged with consolidating the purchasing efforts for all Catholic institutions of the
Diocese of Buffalo in order to obtain the best value on goods and services. This department
allows the Diocese to realize the following advantages:
Relieve pastors and
administrators of the burden of "shopping."
Allows the Diocese to be
part of a national organization (Catholic Purchasing Services, Inc.) that negotiates major
contracts for the entire country.
Through a consolidated
purchasing effort, the diocese has more strength regarding pricing repairs, returns, etc.
In addition to overseeing the
purchasing needs of the Diocese, "DPD" also operates the Catholic
Union Store.
Our office is a partner with Catholic
Purchasing Services. To visit their web site to buy or just shop for
