The Diaconate Class of 2023:

The ordination of the first permanent deacons in Los Angeles took place in June 1975 under Cardinal Manning. Since that time, the diaconate has flourished in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles with over 400 Permanent Deacons in active ministry in the five pastoral regions of the archdiocese. Deacons are at the service of the wider Church under the guidance and direction of the Ordinary, Archbishop José H. Gomez. Those in diaconal ministry in Los Angeles represent the beautiful diversity found in Southern California.  Reflecting this diversity, Mass in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles is celebrated in 42 languages and many of our deacons are bi-lingual and bi-cultural.  This enables them to bringing to their ministry a portion of the diversity that shines through the Church in Southern California.   Learn more about the Diaconate and Diaconate Formation in Los Angeles.
