Deanery Structure

The parishes of the Diocese of the Midwest are organized into administrative deaneries based on geographic location. The diocese has six deaneries, each deanery has a Dean elected by the Archbishop's Council (all six deans and the chancellor) and confirmed by the Archbishop. The work of the deanery is overseen and guided by the Dean who is a parish priest from within the respective deanery.

He coordinates and directs activities of the parishes and priests within the deanery, guiding the establishment of missions, and serving as the first appeal if or when disputes arise within the deanery.

In all things, the Deans report directly to the Archbishop, from whom they receive advice, instruction, and counsel, and for whom they act as an administrative liaisons to their own deanery communities.

DIOCESAN COUNCIL

The Diocesan Council is the permanent body of the diocesan administration. Its membership is elected at the Diocese Assembly with the approval of the Archbishop (who is the de-facto chairman). In addition to the elected/voting members, the Deans are ex-officio non-voting members of the Diocesan Council. Similarly, they constitute the Archbishop’s Council, a consultative body for the benefit of the Archbishop.

Under the guidance of, and with the approval of the Archbishop, the Diocesan Council implements decisions of the Diocesan Assembly, acts on issues affecting parishes and diocesan institutions, and deals with issues that may have legal or financial implications for the diocese, including the funding of missions, monasteries, the chancery, etc. and the collection of diocesan funds. Likewise, the Diocesan Council regulates the boundaries of the deaneries and parishes, and makes the needed preparations for the Diocesan Assembly.
