The Second Vatican Council’s restoration of the Permanent Diaconate in the late 1960s opened the door for the more than 30,000 deacons currently serving the Catholic Church world-wide. The Paulist Press Diaconate Collection offers resources for deacons as well as insight into this vital Catholic ministry. Study the history and development of the diaconate from the earliest days of the Church to the present. Learn about notable deacons throughout history.

With contributors comprising archbishops, bishops, priests, deacons, theologians, and scholars, The Paulist Press Diaconate Collection is an essential part of any deacon’s library.
