A vicar forane, who is also called a dean, an archpriest, or some other name, is a priest who is placed over a vicariate forane. §2. Unless particular law establishes otherwise, the diocesan bishop appoints the vicar forane, after he has heard the priests who exercise ministry in the vicariate in question according to his own prudent judgment.
A priest appointed by the bishop to supervise a section or district of the diocese (Corpus iuris canonici, 553 – 555). The office of vicar forane was introduced by St. Charles Borromeo in the first Provincial Council of Milan in 1565; it spread rapidly to other provinces of Italy and finally throughout the world.
Unlike a regional Episcopal vicar, a vicar forane acts as a help for the parish priests and other priests in the vicariate forane, rather than as an intermediate authority between them and the diocesan bishop.
Vicars general, forane, and episcopal are titled "Very Reverend". Monsignori are colloquially addressed as "Monsignor" (abbreviated as "Msgr.").
A Vicar Forane, who is also called a dean or an archpriest or some other name, is a priest who is placed over a vicariate forane (Can. 553, 1). Canon 374 requires that a diocese be divided into parishes, and it permits parishes in a certain vicinity to be grouped together in a vicariate forane or a deanery to promote better pastoral care.
If there is none or he is impeded, governance passes to an auxiliary bishop, the vicar general, an episcopal vicar, or another priest, following the order of persons established in the list which the diocesan bishop is to draw up as soon as possible after taking possession of the diocese.
