Permanent Diaconate
“The deacon exercises his ministry within
a specific pastoral context—the communion and mission
of a diocesan Church. He is in direct relationship with the
diocesan bishop with whom he is in communion and under whose
authority he exercises his ministry.” (National Directory
for the Formation, Ministry, and Life of Permanent Deacons
in the United States [ND from here forward] 41)
