Holy Orders

Priests are ordained to be assistants to the bishops, and to offer the faithful the Gospel and the Sacraments. Deacons assist both bishops and priests; they are appointed to serve the faithful in works of mercy and to preach the Gospel (cf. Acts 6). If you are sensing the call the priesthood or to the permanent diaconate, please set up an appointment to meet with a priest at 317-842-6778. You may also contact our diocesan Associate Director of Vocations, Fr. Derek Aaron, who works with men discerning priesthood and men and women discerning religious life. Fr. Aaron may be reached at (765) 477-0070 or email [email protected] . For more information about the permanent diaconate, please see the diocesan website, www.dol-in.org/vocation-information, for information and contact information.
