 THE CHICAGO DEACONS Minimize
Welcome to the website of the Chicago Deacons. This website contains information and forms that our deacons can easily access. It also has useful links for homelitcs, church and reference. One thinking about becoming a deacon can learn how to do so. Deacons from other dioceses may find some of the material useful as well.

Diaconate Library - Thursday, May 07, 2009

 

The Diaconate Community Library
 
A wise man has said, “If you don’t read, you can’t lead!” We all need to keep on learning. We do this by reading—or listening to audio and video resources.    This is how we keep on growing and keep current with theology, spirituality, and ministry. We now have a library at our Diaconate Community Center – 816 Marengo in Forest Park. Here is a catalogue of our books, CDs, Cassettes, DVD, and VHS resources. There is no charge. Come in and browse. Take what you want for reasonable time and return to take out some more.
Listings of the material in both English and Spanish can be found under "Links"
