Unincorporated Parish

Debts, Unincorporated Parish

From the book The Clergyman’s Hand-book of Law, about Debts, Unincorporated Parish (1): In Connecticut members of an ecclesiastical society formed by voluntary association under the statutes of the State are not individually liable for the debts of such society.214 But where there is no statute on the subject, the members of an unincorporated parish are liable for lawful debts contracted or ratified by them, and their property may be levied on for such debts incurred or judgments rendered while they are members of the society.215 The members of an unincorporated parish may be sued to recover the salary of a deceased pastor up to the time of his death.216
