DeaconsSince the restoration of the diaconate by the Second Vatican Council in 1967, more than 14,600 single and married deacons have been ordained in the United States. The U.S. bishops have clearly stated the three-fold purpose of today’s deacons as being ministers of the word, serving the poor and being a visible sign of the presence of Christ in the world and in the marketplace.

We are prayerful servants, ordained to participate in the mission of Jesus, by building up, healing and sustaining the people of God. At the direction of the Bishop, we give of ourselves in service to the people in our local churches and neighborhoods.
