Governance within the Catholic Church Facilitated by Fr Brian Lucas
(National Director of Catholic Mission Australia)

The workshop is designed to unpack relevant provisions and to explore issues and challenges that emerge between the application of secular governance principles and implementation of the provisions of the Code. There are special features different from Corporate Governance, whether corporate or not for profit. These relate to the legislation within the Code of Canon Law and governance by individuals rather than boards. Various corporate and organisational structures within the Catholic Church are governed by the Code of Canon Law.
