Each student will be trained in those area which are needed for his ministry as they prepare to serve as deacons. We will begin with a general review of the theology of the diaconate with a special emphasis on the role of the deacon celebrating the rites of baptism, marriage and funerals in both English and Spanish, since these rites are pertinent to the diaconate, through the practice of mock baptisms of infants and a thorough study of the rites of marriage and funerals, all with the help of various methods of critique.
