The Office of the Diaconate provides ongoing education, preparation, and guidance to men who served the Church as deacons. Formation takes place before ordination and afterward - throughout a deacon's years of ministry. Local programs ensure that permanent deacons are ready and able to provide a thorough ministry of service in the particular circunstances in this Diocese.
"For the Nurturing and constant growth of the people of God, Christ the Lord instituted in the Church a variety of ministries, which work for the good of the whole body." - (Lg #18)
