Diaconal Program
The Deacon Program of the Eparchy of Saint
Josaph
at prepares both single and married men as candidates
for ordination to the diaconate, to serve the People of God
in the parishes of the Eparchy. Submitting to the call of
God, and following a prescribed course of intellectual,
spiritual and pastoral preparation, these candidates will go
forth as deacons to their respective parishes.
As sharers in the Ministry of Christ, they will assist in
the Divine Mysteries and various ministries of charity. As
living icons of Christ, these deacons will foster the growth
of the Church in the world.
