What Is a Quasi-Parish? 

A Quasi-Parish is a definite community of the Christian faithful within the Particular Church (Diocese) which has been entrusted to a priest as its proper Pastor but due to particular circumstances has not yet been erected as a Parish. The juridic personality for both parish and Quasi-Parish is similar, but in the case of the Quasi-Parish, it is still developing. 

The Church is always hopeful for new growth and development. The Quasi-Parish was erected to provide pastoral care for the students, faculty and staff of Ave Maria University and the residents of Ave Maria Town.
