Ordination to the Permanent Diaconate

‹ back to previous page

Date/Time
Date(s) - 6 Oct 2013
3:00 PM - 5:00 PM


Sunday 6th October will be an historic day for the Diocese of Dromore when the first ordinations to the Permanent Diaconate will take place in St Peter’s Church Lurgan. On that day two men, having completed four years formation and theological training, will be ordained as deacons for service in the diocese.

In 2001 the Irish Episcopal Conference received approval from the Vatican to restore the Permanent Diaconate in Ireland. In 2005 approval was received for the norms for Permanent Diaconate. The first eight deacons were ordained last June in the Archdiocese of Dublin. Six other dioceses in Ireland have sought and are training deacons, these include Armagh, Dromore, Kerry, Kildare & Leighlin, Kilmore and Waterford & Lismore.

The two men who are to be ordained are:

Gerry Heaney from Moyraverty Parish

Kevin Devine from St Peter’s Parish

We ask that you keep them in your prayers as they prepare in these final days before ordination.
