The Parish Church of St. Jerome and its
sister parishes embrace the Permanent
Diaconate as a full and equal Order of the Church.
Ordination in our denomination will be open to ALL qualified individuals regardless of
gender, race, ethnicity, marital status, or sexual orientation.
If you are considering ordination, we invite you to prayerfully consider the Order of the Permanent Diaconate. This page is dedicated to helping you and others learn more about serving God and the people of God through the Deacon’s ministry of liturgy, word, and charity. The diaconate is an historic order, with roots in the ancient church. Deacons function in ministries of liturgy, word, and charity, or as we like to say, ministry, mercy and service. The deacons of a denomination serve directly under their Bishop and are typically assigned to a Parish or a non-parochial ministry. Once ordained, deacons exercise leadership among the faithful, encouraging, training, and organizing them for various ministries. Suggested ReadinGs
