“And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”
The Holy Father entrusts the governance of the Archdiocese to the Archbishop, who is a successor of the Apostles and is responsible for the ministry of teaching, sanctifying and governing the diocese. The Archbishop chooses men and women, both ordained and lay, to assist him in this ministry.
Deans collaborate with the Archbishop in the pastoral care of the faithful. Within a defined portion of the diocese known as a “deanery,” the dean attends to the needs and concerns of the priests, coordinates the common pastoral activities of the parishes, and ensures that parochial discipline is observed, particularly with regard to the liturgy.
