v t e

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.^[3]
