Are you drawn to a life of service? Have you ever considered a vocation as a permanent deacon? Do others ask you about it? If so, The Saint Paul Seminary Institute for Diaconate Formation invites you to attend a Deacon Discernment Day on Saturday, April 26. Discerners and their wives (if applicable) will learn about the vocation of the permanent deacon, the application and formation process. Some of the questions answered include:
- What is a deacon?
- Who can become a deacon?
- How are Holy Orders integrated with marriage and family?
- How does one discern and respond to the Lord’s call to Holy Orders?
- What prerequisites are needed?
The day includes Mass, prayer, reflections, lunch, Q&A and more. It is intended for single or married men, and their wives (if applicable), between the ages of 25 and 59.
Please contact deaconvocation@archspm.org to register or for any questions.
