From the Desk of the Director
Welcome
to
the
website
dedicated
to
the
deacons
of
the
Archdiocese
of
Santa
Fe,
who,
strengthened
by
the
sacramental
grace,
in
communion
with
the
bishop
and
his
priests,
serve
the
People
of
God
in
the
ministry
of
the
liturgy,
of
the
Word,
and
of
Charity
(Lumen
Gentium
#29).
Deacons
today
administer
baptism
solemnly,
assist
at
and
bless
marriages
in
the
name
of
the
Church,
bring
viaticum
to
the
dying,
read
the
Sacred
Scriptures
to
the
faithful,
administer
sacramentals
and
officiate
at
funeral
and
burial
services.
Since
1967,
the
permanent
diaconate
in
the
Archdiocese
of
Santa
Fe
has
grown
significantly
to
more
than
180
deacons
serving
in
parishes
and
missions
throughout
the
Archdiocese
of
Santa
Fe
in
New
Mexico.
Yet
more
deacons
are
still
needed
and
if
you
are
interested
in
becoming
a
permanent
deacon
and
serving
the
People
of
God
in
New
Mexico,
please
contact
your
parish
priest
or
deacon
who
will
assist
you
with
the
application process.
