Church Administration Handbook (3rd Edition)

Completely revised and updated.

The THIRD EDITION of the Church Administration Handbook outlines how the complex institution that is the Catholic Church in the modern world is structured and functions. It introduces readers to important aspects of church law and to civil legislation of relevance for church-based organisations.

Many changes have occurred in civil legislation and church practice since the second edition of the Church Administration Handbook was published in 2018. This edition has now been completely revised with changes made where necessary and new material included.

Managers of the church's temporal affairs

Administrative staff in parishes, schools, hospitals and other church institutions

Members of finance councils and boards

Seminarians and others preparing for leadership roles in the church

Professional advisers to church bodies, civil lawyers and accountants
