Notes:
A Quasi-Parish has a resident Parish Administrator. It keeps its own canonical books and submits its own
financial statements to the archdiocesan Finance Office. It is on its way to become a Parish once all
the requirements are met.

A Sub-Parish is an extension of its mother parish, and under the supervision of the Parish Priest. All
canonical books are kept with the mother parish. Financial statements are recorded separately but still
consolidated with those of the mother parish.

A Mission Station is like a Sub-Parish, but needs a subsidy and other means of support from the
archdiocese.

A Parish Priest is “the proper pastor of the parish entrusted to him” (Can. 519).

An Assistant Parish Priest is the second person in-charge of the parish. He has previous experience as a
parish priest. He is given more management responsibilities – e.g., in financial accounting, or chairing a
committee of the parish.

A Parish Administrator is the pastor in charge of a Quasi-Parish or a Sub-Parish.

A Parochial Vicar assists the Parish Priest in various aspects of the Parish.

A Resident Priest is also a part-time Parochial Vicar, while attending to a particular ministry
or studies. He helps in weekend Masses and other needs of the parish. He helps form the community of
priests in the parish.

An Applicant Priest is applying for incardination in the Archdiocese.

A Guest priest helps in the needs of the parish as indicated by the parish priest. He isincardinated in
another diocese or belongs to a religious congregation.

Law (1983).
