A group of APAM members worked tirelessly over many years to achieve a fair contract and conditions of employment for Pastoral Associates. This was finally accepted by the Archdiocese in 2003 and updated in 2011. Conditions of Employment are now handled by the Human Resources team of the Archdiocese.
You can view the Conditions of Employment / Contract on the Human Resources pages of the CAM website or through the following link:
All Pastoral Associates and Pastoral Workers are advised to make sure that they have a proper and current contract. It may be necessary to remind an employer of review and renewal times, as these can be easily and unintentionally overlooked, and the contract expired without anyone being aware of the fact.
See the listed CAM Contacts for who to contact at the Archdiocese about Conditions of Employment.
See the Archdiocesan Rates of Pay for current recommended salary scales. These are generally revised each year.
