The advisory body of the Diocesan Bishop, whose role is to assist him in governing the Archdiocese.
The establishment of this senate is mandatory in every diocese. Its members are priests, and they are divided into three groups: elected, ex officio, and appointed members.
The elected members are usually chosen by the priests of the diocese according to deanery districts; the ex officio members hold membership automatically by virtue of their office; and the appointed members are selected by the diocesan bishop.
The current presbyteral council’s mandate is valid from July 1, 2025, to September 30, 2030.
