Planned Diaconate Program in the Prefecture Apostolic

Planned Diaconate Program in the Prefecture Apostolic

1. On Feb. 2, 1986, three permanent deacons were ordained for the Prefecture Apostolic of the Marshall Islands. They were Deacon Alfred Capelle, Deacon Tony Mamis and Deacon Thomas Makiphie. No other deacons were ordained after them. Deacon Mamis and Deacon Makiphie died several years ago. Only Deacon Alfred Capelle is serving the Catholic Church, assisting at Masses, doing Gospel reading and homily every other Sunday, and at times performing the sacrament of Baptism.

2. There is a plan to revive the Diaconate Program in our Prefecture Apostolic.

3. The program is open to all practicing and active Catholic Marshallese men: at least 30 years of age.

4. The program will last for 3 years. There will be a weekly session of an hour and a half.

5. The wives of the candidates are required to attend these sessions for the purpose of understanding the diaconate and consequently, to be supportive of their deacon-husbands responsibility in the Church. The wives are not candidates for diaconate.

6. With God's guidance and blessing, this program could commence possibly in mid-January, 2-14. Let us remember this intention in our prayers.
