Active Clergy

   Priests categorized as "active" serve the diocese in one or more full-time capacities.  Many of our priests are pastors of diocesan parishes.  More than 50% of our active clergy serve as pastors to two or more parishes.  Some priests work in one or more diocesan offices, in addition to their duties as pastor. 

   As demographics continue to change throughout the diocese, our priests are committed to doing what is necessary to ensure that the faithful of the diocese have easy access to the Sacramental life of the Church.
