Issued Date: 4/4/2022
Purpose
To establish compensation, benefits, and expense reimbursement for Clergy serving in the Archdiocese for the Fiscal Year.
Policy
All priests in ministry in the Archdiocese must be compensated according to the current Compensation Schedule for Clergy that is approved by the Archbishop. Any deviation from the Compensation Schedule for Clergy assigned to a Parish must be approved in writing by all members of the Parish Corporate Board. For priests assigned to an entity other than a Parish, such deviation requires written approval from the Archbishop.
In general, Permanent Deacons serve without compensation (see Archdiocesan Policy n. 309 – Regulations for the Ministry of a Permanent Deacon). Reimbursement for appropriate ministry-related expenses and institutional financial obligations for assigned deacons are set forth in the Compensation Schedule for Clergy.
The Compensation Schedule for Clergy is updated and published annually, is in effect for the Fiscal Year for which it is issued and is incorporated herein by reference.
