Diaconate

Permanent Diaconate

Might God be calling you to serve as a permanent deacon within the Clifton Diocese?

Do you have a deep commitment to your Catholic Faith and your prayer life?

Are you committed to your family and work – faithful to your responsibilities and generous with your time?

Do you have a strong desire to serve others, in the Church and in the wider community?

Have others suggested that you might consider the permanent diaconate to be a vocation for you?

Perhaps God is calling you.

We would always recommend that you have a chat first of all with your own parish priest. He will be able to help you to understand what the permanent diaconate is about. Next do have a talk with Deacon Steve Boughton who can help you with the initial discernment and whether or not you might consider applying to be accepted onto the formation programme for the permanent diaconate.
