Bishop Dennis Sullivan ordained 12 men to the permanent diaconate during a Mass that was live-streamed from Our Lady of Lourdes Church, Mary Mother of Mercy Parish in Glassboro, on Oct. 24. Deacons are ordained to assist the bishop and priests in the celebration of the divine mysteries, above all the Eucharist, in the distribution of holy Communion, in assisting at and blessing marriages, in the proclamation of the Gospel and preaching, in presiding over funerals, and in dedicating themselves to the various ministries of charity.
