Hello,
Will there be more clerical changes published in the near future?
I suspect this is not the full list.
Thank you!
“Regular” changes come out in May. Last year this happened on Ordination Day. Just an observation.
Changes here are as needed. Priest gets sick, resigns etc. The primary assignments are made after Ordination of the new Priests in May. Usually the first week in June.
Clerical changes are published periodically as they arise throughout the year. A large list of clerical changes typically is announced in mid-May each year. CatholicPhilly.com will post these changes when they are announced following the ordination of new priests. — Editor.
