Whats a deacon do? – The Deacons Bench

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

Whats a deacon do? – The Deacons Bench Go there. Read. I had a great post written about what being a deacon means, can mean and must mean to us and the Church. It really was a good piece of writing. I was even going to bring in Dignitatis Humane Personae, the declaration on religious [...]
