    • JOURNEY THROUGH THE DIACONATE SOCIAL

      Journey as Catholic Men and Knights of Columbus within the Diaconate Program

      Who is a Deacon?

      A deacon is a clergyman who assists the bishop and priests. He is ordained not to the priesthood but to service.

      He has a threefold role.

      • Charity in which he is of service to the community.                                                
      • Word in which he proclaims the Gospel and preaches.
      • Liturgy in which he assists at Mass, is an ordinary minister of the Eucharist and Baptism, witnesses marriages, leads the community in prayer, especially funeral services, and the Liturgy of the Hours.


      The deacon finds his identity not in what he does but in who he is. Deacons minister in many different settings from the traditional parish to prisons, hospitals, convalescent homes, juvenile detention centers, shelters for the homeless or the abused, soup kitchens, police departments, and corporations. Regardless of where a deacon finds himself, it is there that he serves.
