Qualifications of Prospective Deacons –
- You must be a member of a congregation in a diocese.
- You must show evidence of diaconal gifts, already lead people in diaconal ministry, and have a clear sense of diaconal vocation as the guiding principle of your live.
We look for baptized persons who are:
- Disciple formed
- Gospel centered
- Mission driven
And who passionately
- Find Christ in the hungry, thirsty, stranger, naked, sick and imprisoned
- Lead Christian people in loving care of the poor, sick, lonely and needy
- Defend those who have no helper
[Special thanks to the deacons of the Diocese of Louisiana for these words]
