Continuing Formation

Individual deacons are responsible for their own continuing formation. Their responsibility is linked to their commitment to serve well the Church and the people of God through their ministry and through their own personal faith commitment.

The Office the the Permanent Diaconate offers three continuing formation events each year:

  1. the Bishop's day with the diaconate community in February
  2. a weekend retreat in April
  3. a convocation or formation weekend in October.
