The parish corporation is the legal vehicle for managing the affairs of the parish and for establishing specific legal accountability for those affairs; therefore the corporators have a fiduciary responsibility for managing the assets of a parish.
The Corporators are the Archbishop (President), Vicar Bishop (Vice President), Pastor (Secretary-Treasurer), and two qualified lay persons who are members of the parish, nominated by the Pastor, and approved by the Archbishop. The lay Corporators are appointed for a specific term, usually five years and may be reappointed for additional terms. The Corporators of the parish meets at least once per year.
