A more thorough explanation:
Term: Quoad SacraDefinition: Quoad Sacra means "as to sacred things" in Latin. It is used to refer to property that is located far from the parish to which it belongs. In such cases, it is annexed to another parish for religious purposes, allowing the inhabitants to attend the closer parish's services. However, the land continues to belong to the original parish for all civil purposes.
Examples: If a person lives in a remote area and the nearest church is too far away, they may attend a church in a nearby town that is closer to them. In such cases, the church they attend is said to be annexed quoad sacra to their original parish. This means that they can attend religious services at the closer church, but their property still belongs to the original parish for all civil purposes.
