The term 'pastor' means a pastoral worker - one who takes a role of pastorally caring for those around him or her. However, in a church setting, the term 'pastor' isusually reserved for the leader of a church - especially a Protestant church - usually a Baptist or Free Church - the quivalent of a vicar in an Anglican Church or parish priest in a Catholic church. Therefore Pastors are usually ordained, wear clerical collars, and are regarded as the church leaders of their churches, and as such have a 'pastoral role' in caring for those in their church, although this is just one of several duties that a church leader would have as pastor. However a pastoral worker is someone who specifically does pastoral work and nothing else, and is usually not ordained.

What is the role of a canonical pastor working with a Pastoral leader?

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.
