Priests who represents the archbishop in a geographic region of the archdiocese.
The archbishop has separated the role of the dean from the role of the district representative. A dean is a priest who represents the archbishop in a geographic region of the archdiocese. The dean exercises general supervision over the region. In conjunction with the Vicar for Clergy, he shows special care and concern for the clergy of the region. He encourages collaboration. Following the principle of subsidiarity (decisions are best made at the most appropriate level), the dean will help to deal with matters on a local level before they are brought to the appropriate person(s) in archdiocesan administration. The dean also will perform specific tasks which the archbishop delegates to him.
