Summer Workshop Series
Offered by The Institute for the Diaconate at the Josephinum

A deacon is forever. The National Directory has placed increased emphasis on continuing education in recent years. The Institute for the Formation and Ministry of the Diaconate at the Pontifical College Josephinum has been chartered to provide multiple opportunities for deacons to consider, learn, and reflect upon their critical role in the modern Church. To this end, two three-day workshops designed especially for permanent deacons will be offered in summer 2009. Join us for these opportunities to enhance, advance, and re-animate your pre-ordination formation, already received and lived out, in all of its dimensions.
