Father Luyet elected to Canon Law Society

Published November 20, 2020

Father Greg Luyet, judicial vicar for the Diocese of Little Rock and pastor of Our Lady of Good Counsel Church in Little Rock, was elected in October to a three-year term as secretary of the board of governors of the Canon Law Society of America

The Canon Law Society provides continuing education for canon lawyers through regional workshops and responds to requests from the Holy See and the U.S. bishops for collaboration. The society works with authors to publish books on canonical topics and to produce webinars and podcasts about Church law. 

Father Luyet said many members are laywomen and men. The vice president/president-elect, who will become the president next year, is a laywoman from Canada, Dr. Linda Robitaille. 

“It is an honor to serve on the board of governors, but it is also a responsibility to assist our society to truly fulfill our mission to serve the Church,” Father Luyet said.
