Yes, parishes are permitted to sell property and must follow appropriate steps to do so. Requirements include consultation with the Parish Finance Council, agreement by the Archdiocesan Finance Council, agreement by the College of Consultors, approval by the Dicastery for the Clergy (a Vatican office competent for such reviews). Finally, once all agreements are received, the Archbishop must allow the parish to proceed with the sale and lease. Parishes are then permitted to lease property for use as a parish church.
