Summary/Abstract: A parish is a basic organisational unit of the Catholic Church. In the first place it is the community of the faithful where the parish priest is a superior acting under the diocese bishop authority. In this case the parish priest is in charge of spiritual leadership in his parish as well as the material goods belonging to this community. The parish priest office is intrinsic to the particular parish. Performing the service of the parish shepherd including the complete spiritual leadership supervision assumes serving resulting from the ordination in an absolute way. For this reason, so as to nominate someone a parish priest quintessentially, they have to fulfill the canonical requirements related to passing on the office. This article is an attempt in order to demonstrate these requirements in the light of ruling Canon Law Codex.
