April Devotion

The month of April is dedicated both to devotion to the Eucharist and devotion to the Holy Spirit. This tradition has developed because Easter Sunday often falls in April, and when it does fall in March, the Easter season continues on through all of April. In essence, April is a month of Easter,

and during the Easter celebration we remember the Eucharistic sacrifice Christ gave us and the baptism in the

Holy Spirit, which would come after Jesus's resurrection.

Are You Called to Be a Deacon? Minister of the Word ∙ Minister at the Altar ∙ Minister of Charity

While all the baptized are called to share in the mission of Jesus Christ according to the gifts of the Holy Spir-it, those who are ordained also offer service in a way proper to the Sacrament of Holy Orders. A deacon’s ministry entails proclaiming, preaching and teaching God’s Word, assisting the bishop and priest at the Litur-gy, assisting at funerals, ministering to the sick and dying, leading the community in prayer and in sacramen-tal liturgies, baptizing, witnessing marriages, and exercising administrative leadership in the Church. A per-manent deacon, who may be married, is a member of the clergy and shares in the hierarchy of the Sacra-ment of Holy Orders. Through the Sacrament of Holy Orders, the deacon is configured to Christ the Serv-ant. It is Christ the Servant who acts through the ministry of the deacon. Want to Learn More… We invite Catholic men (and their wives if married) with a deep spiritual life, who are between the ages of 29 and 55 and would like to discern a call to serve Jesus Christ and His Church within the Archdiocese of Phila-delphia as permanent deacons, to take the next step and contact us for more information and to register for the upcoming Permanent Diaconate Information Night.
