Minor canon

A minor canon is a member of staff on the establishment of a cathedral or a collegiate church.

In at least one foundation the post may be known as "priest-vicar".

[1] Minor canons are clergy and take part in the daily services but are not part of the formal chapter.

[2] They are sometimes, but not exclusively, more junior clergy, often chosen for their singing ability, who have already served a curacy, normally in a church.
