Who is a Deacon?
A deacon is an ordained minister of the Catholic Church. There are three groups,or "orders," of ordained ministers in the Church: bishops, presbyters and deacons. Deacons are ordained as a sacramental sign to the Church and to the world of Christ,who came "to serve and not to be served." The entire Church is called by Christ to serve, and the deacon, in virtue of his sacramental ordination and through his various ministries, is to be a servant in a servant-Church.
Men who would like to learn more about the ministry of the deacon may contact the parish priest, deacons at the parish office or the Office of the Diaconate.Office of the Permanent Diaconate
