The priest who is the primary liturgist of a parish is known as rector. Missions, which are congregations that have not yet attained parochial status due to age, size, or resources, have a rector as well, but that rector is the ordinary bishop of the diocese. The priest who is the primary liturgist of a mission, acting in the bishop's (rector's) place, is known as a vicar.</div> <div> </div> <div>I'm glad you found the book, Your Excellency.
