The General Parish Assembly is the highest Administrative body, consisting of all official members of the parish, and meets at least once at the annual meeting, and other times as needed.  Functionaries of the General Parish Assembly include the Parish Priest as the Chair by virtue of his being Nastoyatel (Rector) of the Parish, the Parish Council, the Pastoral team, and the Ministry Leaders, with the Assembly consisting of all parishioners.  The Vice President of the Parish Council, as the membership administrator, has the duty to affirm parish membership voting rights as well as the right and duty to affirm a quorum in a general meeting.  The priest shall confirm or deny the quorum, and if he denies it, the parish council shall vote to confirm or deny the quorum, and all shall be recorded by the Secretary of the Parish Council.  Any confirmed member in good standing shall have the right to call for a vote in any case of real property, and have the right to state their case for at least five minutes (can be extended by the PC President).    

The Ministry Leadership Council includes the Parish Council and the Ministry Leaders.  This will meet periodically as determined by need.    

The Parish Board of Administration, or Parish Council, is the regular administrative body for day to day operations, and has all regular administrative operations within its purview. Its regular leader is the Parish Council President.   Per Canon Law, the UOC Constitution, and the Parish Bylaws, the Parish Priest has an ex officio role on the parish council (as chair of the general assembly, he is honorary chair of the council).  The priestwife is administrative liason with no voting rights in the Council but has an administrative voice.  Per parish bylaws, a former Parish Council President is ex officio Staretz (PC President Emeritus) and has an eldership role and administrative voice but with no right to vote. The Parish Priest does not vote ordinarily but has the right to break a tie and also has the right to veto if decisions are made contrary to the canons.  If his veto is disputed on sufficient canonical grounds then such a dispute is registered with the diocsesan hiearch.
