BRIDGEPORT—Pray, encourage and raise awareness of Catholic Vocations in our diocese and your Parish!
Deacon Sunday in the Catholic Church is a day where parishes in the United States and Canada will observe a day to encourage vocations to the diaconate and to recognize the dedication of deacons and their families.
Deacons deserve much affirmation for their tireless work, proclaiming the word of God, giving homilies, performing baptisms, and witnessing marriages, among other responsibilities. These selfless servants are fully ordained clergy, reporting directly to the bishop.
