Exploring The Diaconate

All men and their wives are invited to the last Exploring the Diaconate informational online meeting at 7:30 PM on August 7th before the application deadline in mid-August.

Co-sponsored by the Deacon Formation Programs of the University of Saint Mary of the Lake and the Office of the Permanent Diaconate, the meeting will include information about the ministry of the deacon and explain the formation process. We will also describe how to apply to the program, which begins August 25th.

If you’ve ever considered the diaconate, or have questions, this is a great opportunity to learn if God may be calling you to this service of our Church. To attend the online meeting on August 7th, please email your name and phone number to the Vicar for Deacons, Jim Norman, at jnorman@archchicago.org to receive the Zoom link. The meeting will last an hour and we’ll answer any questions you and your wife may have about diaconal ministry, the application process and diaconal formation.

We look forward to meeting with men interested in Exploring the Diaconate!
