Permanent Diaconate
In the Catholic Church, there are three categories of ordained ministers: bishops, priests and deacons. All are members of the clergy and are ordained. A deacon's service has three aspects: Word, worship and charity. Deacons proclaim the Gospel and, on occasion, preach. They can preside at the Liturgy of the Hours. Deacons can baptize, witness marriages, and conduct wake and grave-site services. For more information, please call the rectory.
