CHAPTER III
: THE REGISTRATION AND EVIDENCE OF ORDINATION
Can.
1053 §1 After an ordination, the names of the individuals ordained, the name of
the ordaining minister, and the place and date of ordination are to be entered
in a special register which is to be carefully kept in the curia of the place
of ordination. All the documents of each ordination are to be accurately
preserved.
§2 The
ordaining Bishop is to give to each person ordained an authentic certificate of
the ordination received. Those who, with dimissorial letters, have been
promoted by a Bishop other than their own, are to submit the certificate to
their proper Ordinary for the registration of the ordination in a special
register, to be kept in the archive.
Can.
1054 The local Ordinary, if it concerns the secular clergy, or the competent
major Superior, if it concerns his subjects, is to send a notification of each
ordination to the parish priest of the place of baptism. The parish priest is
to record the ordination in the baptismal register in accordance with can. 535
