In Person: Tuesday 24th November, 7pm, St Oswald and St Edmund Arrowsmith Canon’s Hall, Liverpool Road, Ashton-in-Makerfield.
The deacon embodies the spirit of service and compassion in the Church, a man who is dedicated and humble, uniquely ordained to help both the spiritual needs and the practical needs of a community. Candidates for the diaconate are typically mature men between the ages of 30 and 65. If they are married, they must be in a stable sacramental marriage.
The journey to discern if you have a calling to the diaconate involves asking yourself whether you have a genuine desire to serve God and His Church in this capacity.
We invite you to attend either or both of our enquirers’ events to learn more about the role of deacons, their ministry in parish life, and to support your prayerful discernment
