Three of those eight men come from Holy Family: David Feaster, Darrell Lashomb, and Joseph Roach. These men, along with their wives Julie, Beth, and Barbara, have been engaged in a formation process for the past five years that has prepared them for ordination. Deacons, as ordained clergy in the Church, are called to three general areas of service: the ministry of the Word, the ministry of liturgy, and the ministry of charity. They receive their diaconal assignments from the Bishop, to whom they make a promise of obedience at ordination. Deacons continue to support themselves in their secular occupations after ordination and generally serve without remuneration. We congratulate David, Darrell, and Joe, and offer them our prayers for years of fruitful and fulfilling ministry in the Diocese of Wilmington. Our three new deacons will be available to receive your good wishes and congratulations in the parish hall immediately after all the Masses on the weekend of August 26/27. Please stop in and share in their joy. 308-HolyFamily Page 5
