Visiting Priests, Deacons, Laity and Religious
This is a reminder to all priests and deacons that, if you intend to invite into your parish a priest, deacon, a member of a religious community or a lay person as speaker or preacher or presider and lives outside the Diocese of Sioux City, we must first of all receive a “letter of suitability or good standing” from their diocesan or religious superior and approved by the Office of the Vicar General.
The same requirement applies to anyone intended for similar purposes for all Hispanic conferences retreats, and workshops.
We also recommend you request this “letter of suitability” from a priest that makes an unexpected visit to your parish.
