The Deacon is…

…A symbol of 'the Lord who serves'

Deacons are distinctively called and ordained to work alongside others. They serve as ambassadors for the Church, relating church and world. Their particular liturgical role alongside a priest or a bishop reflects the relational nature of their ministry:

• bringing the needs of the world to the church and;
• leading the church in its mission to the world.
