The aim of the article is to present the legal aspect of the relationship between a chapter and the parish joined with a capitular church in the light of applicable law. The first part investigates the issue of the prohibition of associating a parish with a chapter of canons. The second part considers the issue of appointing a chapter pastor and regulations governing the chapter’s relations with a pastor of the capitular parish. The third part deals with alms given to a parochial and capitular church. The final part of the article contains conclusions which state that a parish is not to be entrusted to a chapter and that a pastor is to be designated in a church which is at the same time parochial and capitular.
