Deanery model clauses, model Parish Constitution and Property Trust Deed

Many stakeholders of our deanery would like us to be as professional as possible when running our parishes, bearing in mind that we are mostly volunteers. The Archdiocese requires us to meet certain norms, parents, carers and families want us to safeguard our people, donors want us to safeguard the funds and property that they give us.

To help communities and parishes with these complex tasks, the deanery has developed a set of up-to-date constitutional materials to make sure that we are using all the latest tools available to us. This should free us from 'earthly cares', secure in the knowledge that we have made appropriate arrangements for the care of our 'earthly things'.

Please find below a model parish constitution and a model property trust, alongside some guidance on setting up these arrangements. These are a starting point- delete the words in the [square brackets] and insert details relevant to your parish or community.
