Are there theological reasons for parish incorporations?
Through Baptism, all the faithful – clergy and laity – are called to exercise the mission which God has entrusted to the Church to fulfill in the world. We are stewards of all that has been entrusted to us, including the material resources the Church uses for mission. Parish incorporation allows for a proper civil law ordering of the rights and responsibilities of parishes and the diocese, as it is in canon law. By exercising proper stewardship and acknowledging the unique rights and responsibilities of all in our local church, we hope to be better able to give witness to Christ and advance the Kingdom of God.
