The Deaneries
	The Diocese of Fort Worth is divided into six geographic regions, called deaneries. Each deanery is headed by a priest from one of the churches in that area. Known as deans, they serve at the pleasure of the Bishop and relay important information from the Bishop to the churches and vice versa. They play an important role in preparing the laity and clergy of the diocese for the annual Diocesan Convention.
