College of Consultors
The College of Consultors assists the Bishop in the governance of the Diocese in accord with the provisions of Church law. For particular exercises of ecclesiastical governance, Canon Law requires that the Bishop consult the College, and even obtain its consent in some matters. When the see is vacant, the college assumes the functions of the Council of Priests.
The College is comprised of no less than six priests, and no more than twelve, who are members of the Council of Priests.
The College of Consultors is a required body in the Diocese. It is to be established for a five-year term, but it continues its functions even after that time until a new College is constituted. It continues in existence during a vacant or impeded Diocese.
