    • Welcome to the Diaconate Office

      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, and 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 circumstances in this Diocese.
