See "4 Orders of Ministry"
for a description of ordained ministry in the Episcopal Church.
- People interested in exploring a call to the diaconate must attend a
"Deacon Information Day" at the Diocesan House. They also must
take the two-year Ministry Exploration and Education
program offered by the diocese. During that time, they explore their call
to the diaconate; if confirmed, candidates then take additional training
before ordination to the diaconate. Once ordained, deacons are assigned
by the bishop to serve in a parish; they convene annually for a retreat
and renewal of vows. For more information, contact Mayra
Novo at mnovo@ctdiocese.org in the office of the suffragan bishop. See also: FAQs
About Deacons (for priests and others) There is a committee of the
