<br> | <br> A pastorat is the geographical area that a minister has responsibility for within the Swedish State Church. It is made up of one, two, or more parishes (församlingar) depending on the circumstances. The head minister with the parish often had assistance by another minister called a komminister (sometimes called Kaplan). The parish that the minister lives in is called the mother parish or moderförsamling. The other parish(es) in the pastorat is called the annex parish or annexförsamling. Multiple pastorats make up a Kontrakt. Sometimes the parish records of the whole pastorat would be kept in one book, other times there is a separate book for each parish. | ||
