New priest
New priest (outdated also Neomyst , from ancient Greek νἐος 'new, fresh' and μὐστης 'consecrated, initiated') refers to a priest in the parlance of the Roman Catholic Church in the period between the reception of his priestly ordination and the conclusion of his primary festivities . The term new priest is also used by other Christian religious communities that have adopted the Roman Catholic liturgy and, with it, Roman Catholic traditions and names.
How long after this this term still applies to him depends on local conditions and customs. For example, the individual ordination dates in one diocese and the point in time at which the newly consecrated person begins an area of activity subject to priestly service, for example as vicar or chaplain , can be decisive in another .
In the Archdiocese of Vienna, for example, a priest is generally referred to as a “new priest” until the time of his first appointment to a post subject to priestly service law. From the point of view of the personnel administration, the designation “new priest” is a function designation of the position plan that summarizes all newly ordained persons who have not yet been assigned to a post.
