Office of the Moderator

20-23 Arran Quay, Dublin 7, D07 XK85

The Moderator of the Diocesan Curia oversees the Diocesan Offices on behalf of the Archbishop, seeking to provide a unified support to the clergy, people, parishes, and schools of the Archdiocese.

The Financial Administrator and Head of Operations ensures the appropriate administration of the assets of the Archdiocese and day to day support in the running of diocesan services.

The office provides guidance regarding employment and HR; property management and building projects; and governance and legal matters.

The Building Hope pastoral strategy initiative, planning for the future pastoral development of the Archdiocese, is also supported through the Office of the Moderator. A strategic approach to property and other assets is now being put in place in conversation with parishes.

The Moderator’s Office periodically issues Administrative Guidelines for Parishes and provides for Heads of Office meetings and for integration between the variety of services offered through the Diocesan Offices. On behalf of the Archbishop, it also facilitates elections to the Council of Priests, and of Vicars Forane, and co-ordinates representation on a variety of diocesan committees.

It undertakes an annual compilation of statistics for the Archdiocese, which are then sent to Rome.
