This Charity comprises the financial statements of the Combined 197 Parishes, the Share Fund, the Common Fund and the Clerical Fund. There are 197 parishes in the Diocese.

Parishes are established and operate according to the provisions of the Code of Canon Law which gives each parish separate canonical status, rights and obligations.
