{{Short description|Canonical institution of the Catholic Church}} {{Canon Law}} {{Catholic Church Hierarchy|Administrative and pastoral titles}} A '''personal prelature''' is a canonical structure of the [[Catholic Church]] which comprises [[clergy]] and [[laity]] under the jurisdiction of a [[prelate]] who undertake specific pastoral activities. Along with dioceses and military ordinariates, personal prelatures, were originally under the administration of the Vatican's [[Congregation for Bishops]], but since 4 August 2022, personal prelatures have been placed in the [[Dicastery for the Clergy]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/amp/news/251851/to-guard-the-charism-in-new-decree-pope-francis-makes-changes-to-opus-dei|access-date=26 July 2022|title='To guard the charism': In new decree, Pope Francis makes changes to Opus dei }}</ref> Unlike [[diocese]]s, which cover territories, personal prelatures—like [[military ordinariate]]s—minister to persons as regards some objectives regardless of where they live. The first personal prelature is [[Opus Dei]].
