Roman Catholic AnswerEvery parish must have a pastor assigned to it, even if that pastor is only part time. A "pastoral leader" is the term that is used in the United States for a layman (frequently a sister) who is administering a parish with no resident pastor. The pastor may just come in for one Mass on Sunday, or in severe shortage areas, once a month or less. In that case, the pastoral leader would do all the administration type duties that a pastor would do, obtain priests for needed sacraments, and provide for all other services that a parish would normally need. The canonically assigned pastor, however, would still be legally in charge, and morally responsible for the parish.
