A curate ( ) is a person who is invested with the "care" or "cure" ("cura") "of souls" of a parish. In this sense, "curate" correctly means a parish priest; but in English-speaking countries the term "curate" is commonly used to describe clergy who are assistants to the parish priest. The duties or office of a curate are called a curacy.
