LITURGICAL ART APPRAISALS
Do you know the true value of your liturgical art and sacred objects? Many churches overlook the importance of creating a detailed inventory and obtaining professional appraisals for their liturgical furnishings, statues, and artwork. At Rohn & Associates Design, Inc., we are trusted experts in Catholic church appraisals and sacred art valuation, helping parishes and dioceses understand, document, and protect their most treasured assets.
​
Why Appraisals Matter
Professional appraisals safeguard your parish in key ways:
-
Protect against loss: Fires, natural disasters, theft, or vandalism. A documented inventory ensures insurance claims are accurate.
-
Support church closings or mergers: Identify which items to keep, restore, or rehome while preserving tradition.
-
Guide renovations and restorations: Know which pieces should be integrated into updated spaces with care.
-
Ensure proper insurance coverage: Updated valuations prevent overpaying or underinsuring your patrimony.
Studies show that 8 out of 10 churches undervalue their sacred items, while 20% are underinsured—making accurate appraisals essential for stewardship and financial planning.
​

"Having a comprehensive list of our parish's patrimony in a database was important for insurance purposes, especially in our hurricane-prone area."
"During our ongoing renovation, having a complete report of our patrimony has helped us to manage and estimate all of the sacred art we plan to restore; we can now easily assess existing conditions to figure out how best to proceed."
"After our chapel closed, we were looking to document our patrimony, and with the completed appraisal and photos, we were able to find new homes for our artwork, pews, liturgical furniture, stained glass windows, and more."
