These documents reflect binding diocesan or canonical standards. Compliance is expected of all C4SO clergy.
Customaries
These documents reflect how C4SO parishes typically handle common situations. Follow them unless local context gives good reason to adapt — and when in doubt, consult your deanery leadership.
