A Guide to Understanding Public Juridic Persons in the Catholic Health Ministry. This updated and expanded guide addresses changes in sponsorship structures and assists sponsors and those in management to understand the canonical responsibility of sponsors for a ministry of the Catholic Church. Developed by noted canon lawyers Fr. Jordan Hite, TOR, JCL, JD, LLM; Sr. Sharon Holland, IHM, JCD, and Fr. Francis Morrisey, OMI, JCD, the new publication was created to be a resource for Catholic health care systems or institutions that are considering new forms of sponsorship and provide a contemporary overview of public juridic persons (PJPs).
