BISHOP ZUBIK CALLS FOR NEW CLASS TO BEGIN DIOCESAN DEACON FORMATION PROGRAM The Diocese of Pittsburgh is initiating the nomination and application process for admitting a new class of interested and qualified Catholic men into the Deacon Formation Program, according to Bishop David A. Zubik. In addition, as previously announced in 2014, the bishop said he intends to continue calling additional classes into the formation program every other year in order to prepare men to eventually serve in ordained ministry as permanent deacons. Deacons along with bishops and priests constitute the three levels of ordained ministry in the Roman Catholic Church. The Diocese of Pittsburgh currently has about 100 permanent deacons plus 15 men in the Deacon Formation Program. Although deacons often assist priests at Mass, preach on occasion, and sometimes preside at baptisms, weddings, funeral services, and other liturgical functions, the primary focus of their ministry is rooted in works of service and charity. Deacons may be called upon to minister to those who are sick, elderly, imprisoned, hungry, poor, lonely, and forgotten. They might work with immigrants, youths and young adults, those in special need, or those on the fringes of society. Many deacons work to share the faith by catechizing and evangelizing. Some deacons also have administrative duties in the church. A prospective deacon should be a man of solid faith, deep spirituality, and good reputation and character. He should be fully initiated into the sacramental life of the Catholic Church and living in conformity with all of its teachings. He also should be physically, psychologically, and emotionally healthy; generously willing to serve the diocesan church; and capable of assuming a leadership role and working well with a diversity of people. Applicants must be between the ages of 30 and 59. They should have at least a bachelor’s degree and be able to financially support themselves and their family. A married applicant must be in a stable, well-established marriage and have the full support of his wife to enter the formation program, which lasts at least five years. To begin the process, a prospective applicant’s pastor must submit a nomination on his behalf. The deadline for nominations is September 15, 2016. Applications without a nomination will not be considered. For more information, contact the Diocese of Pittsburgh Deacon Formation Program: [email protected] or 412.456.3124.
