Residenzpflicht (canon law)
In Catholic and Protestant canon law, residence requirements mean that the holders of church offices - especially Catholic and Protestant pastors - are obliged to live near the church in the church's official residence or in the parsonage assigned to them . The same applies in Germany to permanent deacons in the parish service.
Exceptions to this obligation can be granted in justified cases.
As the head of a Roman Catholic diocese, the Catholic bishop is obliged to reside in his diocese.
In addition to the residence requirement, in canon law the person concerned is also required to be present .
