The Jubilee of Deacons, celebrated in Rome from February 21-23, provided a wonderful occasion for us at The Lay Centre to welcome Deacon Andrew Saunders on February 26 for our weekly community evening.

Deacon Andrew, currently serving as co-director of the “4:12 Pathway for Pastoral Leadership grant” and as an adjunct professor of Systematic Theology at Immaculate Conception Seminary School of Theology, Seton Hall University, shared his valuable insights into the permanent diaconate and its vital role in the Church today.

He has worked in the formation of deacons from various dioceses across the United States and continues his commitment to nurturing leadership within the Church.

For Deacon Andrew, the permanent diaconate can be summed up in one simple word: service.
