Permanent Diaconate Formation Group of 2027
Preliminary plans are now underway to call and form the next group. Archbishop Aymond has approved the formation of the next diaconate formation group. Four sessions will be offered to illustrate and explore the formation, life and ministry of serving as a deacon in the Church. These “Information Nights” are informal gatherings in the evenings. Those who sense God speaking to them about the possibility of serving in ordained ministry are encouraged to “Come and See”. Attendance at one of these sessions will allow the formation community to share basic criteria for entrance into formation and will enable each participant to consider requesting an invitation to attend the more formalized “Discernment Gatherings”. Wives are encouraged to attend.
All are asked to pre-register for one of the sessions by email: [email protected]. Questions? 504-861-6329.
You may choose to attend any one of the following, but attendance at one of these nights is required to attend the remaining “Discernment Gatherings” and to submit an application to enter formation.
