What is a rectory?

A rectory is a residence provided by a church for its clergy, typically the rector or parish priest. It serves as both a home and, in some cases, an administrative center where clergy may meet with parishioners or conduct church business. Rectories are commonly associated with Christian denominations, especially Anglican, Roman Catholic, and some Protestant churches. The size and style of a rectory can vary depending on the church's resources and the needs of its clergy.
