Canon 203

1. The eparchial bishop is to foster various forms of the apostolate in the eparchy and see to it that all of the works of the

apostolate in the entire eparchy or in particular districts are

coordinated under his direction, each one according to its own

character. 2. The eparchial bishop is to urge the obligation

by which the faithful are bound to exercise the apostolate according to each one's condition and ability, and to exhort them

to participate and help in the various works of the lay apostolate according to the needs of place and time. 3. The eparchial bishop is to promote associations of the Christian faithful

which pursue a spiritual purpose directly or indirectly; establishing, approving or commending them where expedient according

to the norm of the law.
