Studiu canonico-istoric al dezvoltării parohiei
Canonical and historical study of parish development

Summary/Abstract: The organization of the first Christian communities is less known. The overall structure of the organization, starting from the promptings of St. Ap. Paul, are few and nonexistent. Later, the community seems led by his shepherd, bishop, helped by an elder. Starting with thefirst canonical-liturgical documents, things are becoming clearer. The19th century has left the parish a clearer picture very well organizedand structured. The Parish becomes a well-defined territory with its ownclergy, faithful parishioners forming the parishiers, because the church becomes a place of their piety and of the most important acts in humanlife: the baptism, wedding and funeral. The religious life takes placearound the parish. The bishop, bishop’s residence and the services they can provide are away. In this regard, intermediate structures are needed,above all, the need in creation of parishes within the diocese.
