Guide for Ministers

3.19.4 Rights: Care and recuperation

In the exercise of their ministry, ministers are covered by the care and protection of the Church. Within the scope of its abilities, the Church endeavours to provide them with appropriate help and support in conflicts and problem situations that have come into being within the scope of their ministerial activity. 

Ministers with leadership functions will ensure that permanent situations of minister overload are avoided, and will see to it that the necessary scope for personal recreation is maintained.
