The Diaconate Ministry prepares men to become deacons in our diocese.  It is a five-year process with extensive theological, spiritual, and pastoral formation.  At the end of their studies, they are ordained as a Permanent Diaconate. Our Deacons have stepped up to fulfill the growing needs of our Parishes. They bring us their services in countless ways and continue to bring us closer to our Faith.

"I thank my God for this precious opportunity to be in this program. In these three years that I have been in study, I've learned a lot from God. I thank the Diocese of Jackson, for letting me be the diaconate program through its leaders."
