God calls
the Catholics of the
Archdiocese of Baltimore
to be a welcoming, worshipping community
of faith, hope, and love.
Through his Spirit,
the Lord Jesus lives in those who believe,
and reaches into our world
with his saving message and healing love.

As disciples of Jesus, our mission as deacons is:

Evangelization - to evangelize ourselves, our families, our parish and local communities, and our world.

Liturgy - to celebrate our faith with joy through vibrant and prayerful worship.

Education  - to educate and become educated in the truths of the Gospel and in the formation of conscience.

Service - to reach out in love and service to those in need.

Stewardship - to develop the material, financial and human resources of the Church and to manage them as faithful stewards.
