Hi, guys—
This may seem like a silly question, but:
- Is there a specific name for a Catholic
priest's house, possibly attached to a
Church?
For example:
- In England, a Vicar's residence is
a Vicarage
- For Scottish Presbyterians, (like me), our minister's
residence is a Manse.
Thanks,
Andy

Hi, Andy —
Thanks for the question.
The name for a priest's residence, usually attached to the church,
is a rectory.
A church's pastor used to be called
a rector, as he still
is in the Anglican communion.
Heads
of Catholic seminaries are also called rectors.
Yours in Christ,
Eric Ewanco
