The formation of permanent deacons for ministry cannot end with ordination. Like all the baptized, they must grow in their personal relationship with the Lord, deepening their friendship with him through prayer and study. The Institute for Diaconate Renewal has already been a blessing for the diaconate in this Archdiocese, by providing a necessary resource for our efforts to make the spiritual life of deacons a priority.
