The Pastor is the shepherd of the parish. He exercises pastoral care in the community entrusted to him under the authority of the diocesan bishop in whose ministry of Christ he has been called to share. He carries out the duties of teaching, sanctifying and governing with the cooperation of other priests, deacons and lay members of the Christian faith community.

The Pastor has the obligation to see that the Word of God is proclaimed and that the Eucharistic liturgy is the center of the faith community. He has the responsibility to see to the catechetical formation of the community, with special attention to the Catholic education of children and young adults. In service to the community, he is to give special care to the sick, the dying, the poor, the afflicted and the lonely.
