Best Answer

All Catholic Churches follow the same doctrines and rituals, such as the Mass, etc., that is why it is called Catholic - universal. However, the day to day management of the parish is left to the pastor as he sees fit. In many parishes a Parish Council helps the pastor in developing policies and regulations. The pastor or council may set mass times, regulate who uses the parish's buildings and when, establish parking regulations, etc. As each parish has its individual circumstances, a blanket rule for all churches would not be practical.

There are many groups active within the church and the wider community that visit and help those in need - both our own parishoners and those who are not necessary catholic but could do with a helping hand.

Could Paroisse De Grand Pauvre be interpreted to mean the poorest parish in English?

The parish itself is not qualified by the adjective "pauvre". It might be translated as "the parish of the Holy Poor" as, in Catholic faith, "grand pauvre" refers to God himself: "Pauvre" indicates that he owns nothing, not even the desire to own, "grand" indicates greatness.

Sunday is a holy day of obligation and we do participate in Mass for prayer and worship but neither the Holy Scriptures or Holy Tradition state that formal religious education must happen on Sunday. Catholic religious education can be taught on any day of the week. The day is determined by each parish according to its own needs.
