Papás

The parish priest in the Eastern Church is properly called a Papás. They are responsible for the congregation within the parish, and if it is of any size at all, they will have a staff including one or more Diákenos. An exception is at the home Cathedral of a Mitropolítis there may be several Papái serving under an Archigós, sharing the duties of overseeing the parish.
