THE CHICAGO DEACONS

What's new for deacons

in the new Roman Missal?

(a list compiled by Fr. Mike)

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.
