Diocese of Gary

Deans

A dean is a priest, appointed by the bishop, with certain authority over the common pastoral activities of a specific area of the diocese. Among his responsibilities are to meet regularly with the bishop; convene monthly meetings of priests within the deanery; visit each parish in the deanery; and to mediate in the first instance for the bishop in deanery matters requiring conciliation in priest-priest or priest-lay concerns. If you have questions regarding Church matters in your area, you are encouraged to contact your dean.
