From the Rite of Ordination of a Deacon
Save The Date
Shawn will be ordained a Priest on
Saturday, May 24th, 2008
Ordination to the Diaconate is the first level of the Sacrament of Holy Orders. Since Shawn will ultimately go on to be ordained a Priest, he is now being ordained a “Transitional” Deacon.
Transitional Deacons make promises of celibacy and obedience to the Bishop. They also promise to pray the Liturgy of the Hours each day for all the people of God. Deacons can perform Baptisms, Weddings, and Funerals. A Deacon also assists the Priest or Bishop at Mass and may give the homily.
Shawn will serve as Deacon of the Mass and preach his first homily on
