Canon 700

1. With regard to the manner of celebrating the Divine Liturgy,

whether it should be done individually or in concelebration, attention should be given above all to the pastoral needs of the

Christian faithful. 2. If it is possible, presbyters should

celebrate the Divine Liturgy united with the bishop as president

or with another presbyter, who acts as the principal celebrant,

since in such a way the unity of the priesthood and sacrifice

will be suitably manifested; each priest retains the right to

celebrate the Divine Liturgy individually, not, however, at the

same time in which a concelebration is taking place in the same

church.
