In 1964, the Second Vatican Council decided to revive the permanent diaconate. Strengthened by sacramental grace, they are dedicated to the people of God, in communion with the bishop and his presbyterate, in the service of the liturgy, of the word and of charity.
On Saturday June 18, 2022 at 10:00 AM, His Eminence Thomas Cardinal Collins will be ordaining twenty men to the permanent diaconate at the Cathedral.
All are welcome to attend in-person or watch it live on our website.
There will be no 12:10 PM Mass on this day.
