In the Roman Catholic Church, pastoral vicars are typically ordained priests and are therefore required to remain celibate and unmarried. However, in some other Christian denominations, pastoral vicars may be allowed to marry. It ultimately depends on the specific rules and regulations of the particular religious institution.
yes!
It All Depends On What You Choose To Have There, The Vicar And Where You Get Married... :)
A vicar in the church is a member of the clergy who is in charge of a particular parish or church. They are responsible for leading worship services, providing pastoral care to the congregation, and overseeing the day-to-day operations of the church.
That depends entirely on who the pastoral associate is. The Vatican has come out and said that the phrase "pastoral associate" should only be applied to ordained clergy, which would include bishops, priests, and deacons. In the case of deacons, a man to be ordained to the permanent diaconate may be married, so in that case, yes. However, often the phrase "pastoral associate" is used to apply to all kinds of people other than clergy. In our parish there is a sister employed as a "pastoral associate", so, of course, in her case she would not be married, as she is in perpetual vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. The answer to your question is that it all depends on how your parish defines pastoral associate!
Probably because they are unbaptized. If they are unbaptized, what reason would they have for being married in a church or by a vicar?
In the Lutheran Church, a vicar is a seminary student who is completing a year of practical fieldwork in a congregation, typically as part of their pastoral training. This role allows the vicar to gain hands-on experience in ministry under the supervision of an experienced pastor. The vicar may perform various duties, including preaching, teaching, and participating in church activities, but is not yet ordained. This internship period helps prepare them for their future role as a fully ordained pastor.
well, they get married and have a dress on and usualy have a vicar to get them married.... hope i helped
The vicar for priests is responsible for overseeing the welfare and pastoral needs of priests within a diocese. This includes providing support, guidance, and mentorship to help them in their ministry and personal development. The vicar also facilitates communication between priests and the bishop, addressing any concerns or issues that arise. Additionally, they may be involved in coordinating ongoing formation programs and resolving conflicts among clergy.
Depends where you live, but probably not in most places.
A vicar general is a senior official in a diocese who acts as a deputy to the bishop, assisting in the administration of the diocese. They have the authority to oversee certain aspects of church governance, manage diocesan affairs, and represent the bishop in various capacities. The vicar general is often responsible for handling administrative tasks, pastoral care, and ensuring that church laws and policies are followed within the diocese. Their role is crucial for the effective functioning of the church's hierarchical structure.
We have the Parish priest. The parish priest is helped by a parochial vicar (formerly known as a curate or an assistant pastor) and/or a permanent deacon, religious sister, or lay parishioners all known as pastoral associates.
A vicar is the title given to a member of clergy in the Catholic or Episcopal church. They are more common in England than in the US. They work various hours but on average around 52 hours per week.
