“Come and See” Events in May of 2026

Those men who may feel they are being called to learn more about the diaconate are invited to join us for one of our regional gatherings in May.  There will be a short presentation on the Diaconate and then a Deacon will share their own journey toward this ministry in the Church.  There will also be time for Questions. 

  • Tuesday, May 5th at Christ the King Parish, 5884 Crittenden Avenure, Indianapolis
  • Tuesday, May 12th at St. Patrick Church, 1807 Poplar Street, Terre Haute, Indiana
  • Tuesday, May 19th at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church, 1752 Scheller Lane, New Albany, Indiana
  • Tuesday, May 26th at St. Michael Church, 145 St. Michael Blvd, Brookville, Indiana

All four events will be held 6:30 – 8:30 p.m.  Canon law indicates that men must have reached the age of 35 by their ordination.  In the Archdiocese of Indianapolis, we invite men to enter formation who will be no older than 65 years when they are ordained.  Formation is a five-year process.  Wives are welcome and encouraged to attend the “Come and See” event as well.  These events are not required but could be helpful in the discernment process.  For more information, please contact Deacon John Jacobi – jjacobi@archdindy.org – 812-946-0873.
