Men seeking application into Diaconate Formation come with the understanding that the diaconate is a call to a dedicated life of service, to a specific vocation.

The deacon emerges out of the universal diakonia to stand in the midst of the community as one who makes present in his person and deeds the servant character of Christ and Church.  Through the sacramental ordination the deacon becomes a public sign to the world that the Church is authentically servant.  The deacon is the animator and promoter of the common service of the Church.
