Permanent Diaconate

Permanent Deacons have been members of ordained ministry since the earliest days of the Church, serving the people of God through the ministries of liturgy, word, and charity.

Today the ministry is growing in our diocese, serving parishes, schools, and communities by living the Gospel through a unique combination of family, work, and parish life.
