Local chaplaincy
The local chaplaincy is a name from the Josephine church reform of the 1780s in the Habsburg hereditary lands . Former monastery and pilgrimage churches as well as village branch churches , to which only small residential communities belonged, were, if not profaned , assigned to a defined pastoral care district and staffed with a local chaplain who was legally and financially not equal to a pastor . Around 1880 the legal form of local chaplaincy was abolished; the churches became either parish or subsidiary churches. The name, which has now become naturalized, remained in use in many cases.
