Become a Deacon Deacons are ordained to serve in the archdiocese as animators and promoters of the church’s call to charity and justice. The ministries of the deacon are Love and Justice, the Word of God, and the Liturgy. The diaconate is open to men who are single or married and are at least 32 years old. Deacons may have families and hold full-time jobs in addition to offering their services to the church. The Ministry Formation Institute in the John Paul II Center continues the preparation of men to serve, as Christ served. The program offers academic, pastoral, spiritual and human formation. Wives of aspirants and deacon candidates participate in a Wives Formation Program throughout the course of their spouse's formation. Is the church calling you to be a deacon?
