👉 In the context of ecclesiastical administration, a deanery is a sub-deaconial jurisdiction within an archbishop's diocese or see. The term "deanery" refers to a bishop's administrative authority over a particular diocese. The deanery is typically located in a specific territory or region of the diocese and is responsible for overseeing the spiritual and temporal affairs of that area, including providing pastoral care, organizing religious services, and coordinating with other ecclesiastical authorities.
