The Congregation for the Clergy (Congregatio pro Clericis) is the congregation of the Roman Curia responsible for overseeing matters regarding priests and deacons, and overseeing the religious education of all Roman Catholics.
The Congregation for the Clergy has its origins in the "Sacra Congregatio Cardinalium Concilii Tridentini interpretum" instituted by Pope Pius IV on August 2, 1564. It was known as the "Sacred Congregation of the Council" prior to 1967.
