| Summary: | "One of our wealthier parishes recently received a large legacy when a parishioner died. The entire estate was given with the stipulation that it be used for purposes of charity and religion as these are identified by the pastor. With the consensus of both the parish pastoral council and the parish finance council, the pastor intends to donate $10,000 from the estate to an inner-city group which will use the funds to purchase property to establish a center for the homeless. Is the pastor, as the administrator of the parish, and without permission from the diocesan bishop, able to make this donation?" |
