Hoffmann has been appointed Moderator of the Curia and Vicar General of the Archdiocese of Denver by Archbishop J . Francis Staf­ ford, effective July 1, 1988. Father Michael J . Chamberlain continues as Vicar General and oversees a number of archdiocesan of­ fices related to social concerns and development. Each diocese in the Church is required to have a vicar general. Depending on size, number of in­ habitants or for other pastoral reasons, two or more vicars general may be appointed to assist the bishop in administrative duties. A vicar general has the same executive authority throughout the whole diocese as that which belongs to the diocesan bishop, with the exception of those which the bishop has reserved for himself, or which by Church law require a special mandate of the bishop. As Moderator of the Curia, Father Hoffmann wUl coordinate the persoMel and offices through which Archbishop Stafford administers the affairs of the archdiocese. The position of moderator was estab­ lished in the revised Code of Canon Law issued in November 1983. In establishing the office of moderator , Archbishop Smfford expressed the " need for continuity in services performed at the archdiocesan Pastoral Center," and said the appointment of Father Hoffmann would allow him more personal time to serve the pastoral needs of the people, parishes and priests of the archdiocese.
