Administrative history
The National Federation of Councils of Priests was established in 1969 to collaborate with the Bishops of Canada in the development and implementation of those programs of a national nature which are designed to serve the pastoral needs of the people of God; to provide a forum whereby the Councils of Priests of the local Churches can share their experiences as collaborators with their local Bishop in the governance of the local Church; to promote and collaborate with others in ministry in programs of pastoral research and action; to accomplish and/or collaborate in accomplishing those tasks which cannot be adequately or easily done by individual councils; to provide a means for Councils of Priests united nationally, to cooperate with the Bishops, Religious and Laity of Canada in addressing the needs and concerns for the church in the modern world; to provide a forum whereby priests of the English sector can work in closer harmony with priests of the French sector in addressing issues of mutual concern; and finally to provide an instrument whereby Canadian priests can be represented on the international level in the most representative manner possible.
