The Diaconate Celebrates 50 Years In 2018

4/5/2016

The permanent diaconate within the Catholic Church was restored back in 1968. Thus, we will be celebrating 50 years in 2018. A large gathering is being planned for July of 2018 in New Orleans to mark the occasion. As a side note, that will also be the 300th birthday celebration of the City of New Orleans. Furthermore, I will mark my ordination anniversary in June of 2018 completing 19 years of service as a deacon. I may have to begin my 20th year by going to New Orleans for this celebration.

There are currently more than 18,000 permanent deacons in the United States. What will the next 50 years bring?

Deacons, check out the site to learn more about the gathering in New Orleans.
