AUSTRALIA : 7 MEN ORDAINED TO DIACONATE

ARCHDIOCESE OF MELBOURNE REPORT
Diaconate Ordinations


Thursday 1 November 2012

ON 27 October 2012 seven men were ordained by Archbishop Denis Hart as permanent deacons for service in the Archdiocese of Melbourne.

The Diaconate Ordination was also a multi-cultural affair with candidates ordained from Australia, England, South Africa and South Sudan.
The seven men ordained also represented all of the regions of the Archdiocese.

Each of the now permanent deacons was supported by family and friends who attended the ceremony at St Patrick's Cathedral.

All seven of the newly ordained deacons for the Archdiocese of Melbourne have a record of service in their parishes and professional commitments.

The ordinations held last weekend conclude the study and spiritual preparation which the new deacons have been undertaking since 2007.
