The Diocese of Brooklyn’s Diaconate Convocation was held this Sunday.
Bishop Robert Brennan led a prayer service for the deacons and their families at the Immaculate Conception Center in Douglaston.
He thanked the deacons for their service in both parishes and diocesan offices.
Bishop Brennan also asked for their support in the coming year as the diocese begins discussions on a year of reciprocal partnership among parishes.
He emphasized that change is a way of life in the Diocese of Brooklyn, stating, “As we adapt to the needs of parishes and change, we build up the strength of Catholic life here in Brooklyn and Queens.”
A total of 75 deacons and 40 wives were in attendance.
