ADMINISTRATIVE SECTION

APPROVAL FOR PRIESTS, DEACONS, OR MEN AND WOMEN RELIGIOUS

Any priest, deacon, or religious who will exercise ministry in the Diocese of Las Cruces shall submit a "Statement of the Bishop or Religious Superior" to the bishop. However, if the person will exercise temporary ministry only -- such ministry as Sunday supply, vacation supply, mission or retreat work, or teaching or counseling in a parish or other facility of the diocese -- the form should be sent to the pastor, parish life coordinator, or administrator who in turn should forward the completed form to the chancellor at The Pastoral Center. All priests and deacons who seek the faculties of the diocese shall be referred to the chancellor. This policy is in accord with policies being adopted by a number of dioceses to ensure that the people of God are not exposed to danger. From time to time, special situations will arise that will require a variance from this policy. Only the bishop, the vicar general, or the chancellor may amend its requirements.
