Permanent Diaconate
Information on Diaconate Formation
At the present time, the Center for Diaconate is not accepting applications for the diaconate formation program.
The Archbishop of Saint Paul and Minneapolis has requested a study of the current formation program and continuing formation for ordained deacons in the light of the U.S. Bishop's document "Directory for the Formation, Ministry, and Life of Permanent Deacons in the United States". However, we invite you to contact the Center for Diaconate office to be notified when there will be information sessions on the application process or to request information on the vocation to diaconate.
