At OCADL 2008 in Sudbury, we identified personal charisms given by the Spirit to enable us to better serve the Lord in our Diocesan ministry of diaconate leadership. In 2009, we will be gathering in Pembroke Diocese at the Pembroke Best Western Motel and Conference Centre. Book your reservation now to join us on Pentecost weekend May 29-31, 2009, as we explore what it means to be a diaconate leader according to the theme: “Called, Formed and Strengthened by The Spirit” i.e., how do we recognize those who are called, how do we form those who are recognized, and how do we help those who are formed (have completed their formation and are now ordained) and their wives? How do we use the charisms we have been given as leaders in coordinating the admission of aspirants to formation, formation of candidates for the Permanent Diaconate, and ongoing formation of permanent deacons?

As Jesus said, “Come and see!”
