CRITERIA FOR THE EMPLOYMENT AND REGULAR FEE PAYMENT OF PARISH COWORKERS

Summary/Abstract: This exposition is about the ecclesiastic ministries from the point of view of the current structure of the Church, described in the Code of Canon Law from 1983. Taking the origin and historical development of the ministries in the Church into consideration, the article attempts to point to the importance of the ministries both in the universal and particular Church. The purpose is to show how according to their canon specifics, the role and effectiveness of these ministries require constant adjustment to concrete particular Churches, diocesan bodies and parish communities. The engagement of church ministers in the Church in the light of the documents of the Second Vatican Council and the Code is not only the important task of the consecrated ministers and clergymen, but also of the lay faithful who are, by the acts of baptism and confirmation, destined for the apostolate and called to make all the people around the world hear and accept the divine message of salvation. It is certain that parish coworkers have to be trained for this task, which means they have to be educated to a certain level, and given an official certificate to confirm their appositeness and proficiency for the services they are in charge of.
