What is a “Deanery”?
Under canon law, the bishop has the ability to group parishes into regional areas, usually according to their geographic location. Vicariates forane are also known as deaneries. The geographic groupings make sense, practically speaking, so that the priests and parishes of that region can collaborate. The Deanery structure provides an important bridge between the ministry of the Bishop and the People of God throughout the Diocese. It must reflect the pastoral care and guidance which the People of God rightfully expect from their Bishop.
