The ministry of Deacons is a ministry of service, faith, and commitment. Deacons play an important role in supporting the Church, assisting the clergy, serving the congregation, and responding to the needs of the community. More than a ministry, the diaconate is a calling to serve God and His people with humility, dedication, and love.
The Diocese of Odiongan is blessed with 18 Perpetual Deacons and 2 Transitional Deacons, making a total of 20 Deacons serving the Church.
Their presence is a testament to the Dioceseโs commitment to developing a ministry grounded in faith, service, and servant leadership. Through their dedication, the Deacons assist in the life and mission of the Church, support the clergy, serve the faithful, and extend the Churchโs ministry to the wider community.
As part of the Dioceseโs commitment to strengthening the ministry, the Annual Deacon Summit is conducted as a regular gathering of Deacons for study, reflection, fellowship, and spiritual formation.
The Summit provides an opportunity for Deacons to deepen their understanding of their vocation, reflect on their experiences in ministry, discuss challenges and opportunities, and renew their commitment to serving God and His people.
