![]() 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.
