Permanent Diaconate Preparation Program
Open to men, thirty-five years and older (by the time of ordination). This is a five-year program in theology and pastoral ministry and it is required to serve the Church in the Order of Deacon. Lifestyle priorities of the Permanent Diaconate always place wife, family, and career ahead of the hours committed to pastoral work. Deacons are assigned primarily to their parishes. Contact: Fr.
