Priests in a
Parish: We use the following convention to show a priest's
place among the clergy of a parish: 1/2 means that he is the first priest
listed in the Official Catholic Directory (usually
the pastor) and that there is a total of two priests at the parish. The
shorthand 3/4 means that the priest is listed third on a four-priest roster.
