Self Supporting Minister SSM
An Ordained Self Supporting Minister is…
Someone set aside by the Church to hold the office of a priest whilst continuing to support themselves either through employment, pensions or private means. They are likely to work alongside an Incumbent (parish priest with overall responsibility) but participate fully in the sacramental ministry of the church.
