Bishop Whelan Now Sits on Corporate Board of All Parish Corporations in the Archdiocese of New York



I am saying it again because not everyone knows that underlying your parish, there is a civil corporation.  The corporate board consists of the  Archbishop, the Vicar General, the Pastor and two lay trustees. When a church is closed and relegated to profane, but not sordid, use, this board votes on the disposition of the real property.  

It was announced today that Bishop Edmund Whelan will succeed Joseph P. Lamorte as Vicar General, making him Archbishop Ronald Hicks' right hand man and giving him a seat on every parish corporate board in the archdiocese.
