About Us » Diocesan Administration » Vicar for Clergy
Vicar for Clergy
The Vicar for Clergy of the diocese is Rev. Richard Thompson.
The Vicar for Clergy is to provide ministry to and care for all diocesan priests and permanent deacons: active, inactive, sick and on leave. As such, he is to keep the bishop informed about his ministry with them and is directly accountable to the bishop.
The Vicar also oversees priests assigned to institutional ministries in hospitals and nursing homes. In addition, he also supervises the Director of Hispanic Ministries and oversees priests and deacons assigned to various multicultural ministries, e.g., Hispanic, Vietnamese and Brazilian.
He is to be proactive by developing and maintaining a supportive relationship with all priests and deacons of the Diocese and by being concerned with their overall welfare. When a priest or deacon is having personal concerns in his ministry, family, illness, professional issues or other personal matters, the Vicar for Clergy is to be available for assistance.
