A Call to the Permanent Diaconate – St. Francis Catholic Parish

Our deacons serve an important function across our communities. The diaconate itself is a gift and mission given by Jesus Christ through the Apostles and the Archdiocese of Southwark wants to promote, nurture and support those permanent deacons who wish to give themselves to the service of the Church in their parish, deanery and diocese.

If you have an interest in looking further into what it means to be a deacon, and you discover in your heart a love burning for God and his people through the Church, God might be calling you to permanent diaconate for reasons you yet not understand. If you hear even the faintest calling to the Diaconate from God, then please read more at… https://rcaos.org.uk/TheDiaconate.

Praying for new vocations, Fr Bart Dudek, Episcopal Vicar for the Permanent
