The Office of a Cathedral Dignitary is known as the Deanery. The Deanery is the administrative center of a cathedral and is headed by a Dean, who is responsible for the spiritual and temporal affairs of the cathedral. The Dean is appointed by the Bishop and is usually a senior clergyman. The Deanery is also responsible for the day-to-day running of the cathedral, including the maintenance of the building, the organization of services, and the management of staff.
