Liturgical Deacon Stoles

The deacon stole marks your ordained ministry with dignity and purpose. Worn diagonally across the body during liturgical celebrations, this vestment shows everyone your role as servant to both the Gospel and God's people. A well-made stole stays with you through baptisms, weddings, and Sunday Mass, becoming part of your ministry's visible witness.

Vestments That Honor Your Calling

Since the diaconate was restored after the Second Vatican Council, the stole has set deacons apart during liturgy. Unlike the priest's stole, which is worn straight down, the deacon wears it from the left shoulder to the right hip, highlighting the special character of diaconal service. You're the bridge between altar and assembly, between the Word and the world. Each time you vest for Mass or sacraments, your stole reminds everyone of your ordination promises.
