"At the direction of the Second Vatican Council, the
Permanent Diaconate has been restored as a vital ministry in assisting us
bishops in the mission of the Church. By Sacred Ordination and their
exercise of 'the ministry of the liturgy, of the word, and of charity,'
deacons have a special relationship to us in fulfilling our responsibilities
of bringing the knowledge and genuine comfort of Christ to the People of
God."
Bishop Wilton Gregory, Presidential Address,
