The Permanent Diaconate Ministry Fund provides independent and supplemental resources desperately needed to build, enhance, and support the Permanent Diaconate in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. The support received from the fund will be directed to a wide range of activities that flow from the deacon’s charisms of Word, Sacrament, and Charity -- from ministry and vocation awareness to continuing formation. Contributions to the Permanent Diaconate Ministry Fund will foster and support the charitable works and services provided by the Permanent Diaconate to the people of God and His Church.
