Priest title, question

[redtree]

So I was reading the new assignments of some of our priest. I noticed that their titles go from the Reverend… to the Very Reverend… and then of course the Reverend Monsignor.

My question is whats the significance of the title “Very Reverend” ?

Canon.

Canon.

Not necessarily. Also, the superior of that particular house would use Very Rev.

I wish Br. JR were well and online so he could explain it.
