The book is intended to be a help for those just going into the diaconate program or as a refresher for those who have been involved in the ministry for some time. A theology and history of the diaconate helps clarify where ministry of being a deacon came from and the importance of what deacons do when they perform duties which include serving a parish by assisting during the liturgy, serving the needy in the community and preaching. Within Guide for Deacons you find practical guidance for serving during a variety of liturgies such as celebrating a Sunday service when no priest is present or non-sacramental Penance services or funerals, frequently asked questions about the diaconate with answers and a helpful glossary of terms.
