Vicar Forane, Episcopal Vicar > Vicario Foráneo, Vicario Episcopal - V.F., V.E.

Como Taña ya ha demostrado, "V.F." significa "Vicar Forane", que en español es Vicario Foráneo; la abreviatura es la misma: V.F.

E.V. significa "Episcopal Vicar"; en español, Vicario Episcopal; la abreviatura es V.E.

"Episcopal Vicar for San Bernardino Pastoral Region
Very Rev. Romeo N. Seleccion, M.S., E.V.
[...]
Vicars Forane
Vicar Forane: a priest who presides over a vicariate forane / deanery (cf. Canons 553ff).
Hemet Vicariate:
Very Rev. Tom Burdick, V.F."

"VICARÍA EPISCOPAL TERRITORIAL: SIGÜENZA Y ARC. RURALES
V. E. Teritorial: Sigüenza y Arc. Rurales: Jesús Molina Alcántara
Obispado"
https://www.siguenza-guadalajara.org/index.php/organigrama/c...

"A vicar forane, also known as an archpriest or dean, is a priest entrusted by the bishop with a certain degree of leadership in a territorial division of a diocese or a pastoral region known as a vicarate forane or a deanery."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicar#Roman_Catholic_Church

"The similarly titled episcopal vicar shares in the bishop's ordinary executive power like the vicar general, except for the fact that the episcopal vicar's authority normally extends over only a particular geographic section of a diocese or over certain specific matters."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicar_general

"Vicario episcopal. Se responsabiliza de una zona o sector de una diócesis en nombre del obispo.
Vicario foráneo. Juez eclesiástico nombrado por el obispo para ejercer la jurisdicción ordinaria delegada en un partido fuera de la capital diocesana. Con frecuencia, no podían conocer las causas criminales, sustanciando los sumarios y remitiendo los procesos para su resolución al Vicario General."
https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicario

Normalmente serían personas distintas, pero no es imposible que la misma persona ejerza ambas funciones, como en este caso:

"Rev. Fr. Elia May, OSJ
He was commonly called in the Philippines as “Monsignor” for having served as episcopal vicar and vicar forane for many years."

V.F. is not a degree; it stands for Vicar Forane and means that your pastor is currently a dean of the diocese. This means that he presides over other priests in the surrounding parishes when they periodically meet. It also means that while the pastor is dean, he is actually entitled to be called "The Very Rev. ____." This is usually a term for several years, after which the title moves to another priest.
