What are the roles of a priest in the local parish?

Answer 1

The Job of a Parish Priest or also known as a Minister of Care is to minister to the sick, dieing, elderly or disabled. The main focus is to bring the healing power of Christ to those who can't make it to a congregational church on a regular. The person of a Parish Priest must be someone who is special and able to bring forth the spiritual aspects of life to the ill. Anyone can become and be taught how to be a minister of care as long as they are Born Again believer's in Jesus Christ and who have the healing power of the HOLY GHOST on the inside of them. Among knowing theological cases of sickness and suffering, and how to take care of yourself while taking care of others according to the word of God, Parishioner's are ministers. They listen, provide a comforting presence and the word of God and prayer to the ill. By simply sharing psalms, and saying the Lords prayer could be a start. Most churches have a group of section of Parishioners.

Catholic Answer

The primary role of the local pastor (priest in charge of a parish) is to offer Mass for the people of the parish. The very word, priest, means one who sacrifices, and the Mass is the ultimate sacrifice, Our Blessed Lord's sacrifice of His life to the Father for our salvation. Every other role that a priest has in a parish flows from his main role which is that of offering sacrifice, particularly at Mass. The priest is an alter Christus

- another Christ, his role is to be Christ for the people in his parish.
