Permanent Diaconate

This office is responsible for the catechesis, the recruitment, the selection, and the formation of candidates for the Permanent Diaconate. This office will assist pre-ordination preparations. Likewise we will advise the Bishop on first assignments of new deacons and supervise them during their first two years of ministry. This office is also responsible for liaison between the bishop and the body of deacons, assisting deacons in resolving personnel/ assignment problems, being attentive to the concerns of deacons' wives and families, overseeing the continuing education and retreat opportunities for deacons. This office will be responsible for all budgetary concerns regarding deacons and answers to the Bishop.

The Permanent Diaconate Advisory Board is made up of the Diocesan Director of Vocations, the Director of the Permanent Diaconate, the Director of Clergy Personnel Board, and the Director of the Office of Catechesis. This board serves to advise the Permanent Diaconate Office.
