THEO 4380 Parish Administration
The course prepares church leaders for the various aspects of parish leadership and parochial administration, and it provides an overview of civil, legal, and financial issues that will be encountered in normal parochial operations. Emphasis will be placed on a practical application of civil and canon law (CIC & Diocesan Pagella and Policies) in concrete scenarios to create a synthesis of good parish practice. Topics to be discussed include personnel management, sacramental record-keeping, building collaborative leadership skills, and the proper administration of temporal goods.
