Welcome to the Oak Town Deacons Website!
We are glad you have found us on our Deacon community website. We are always looking for ways to improve our Diaconate community experience. Please log in for more detailed information. We hope to continue to enhance our community dialogue through our website with an updated and interactive calendar, announcements, meeting reminders and links for remote meetings, and letters from the President of the Diaconate or the Director of the Permanent Diaconate. We want this to be a place where we keep in touch and connect with Deacons, Deacons wives and our beloved widows. Please contact the President of the Diaconate with any questions, issues or suggestions.
Vision Statement
Responding to God’s call to serve as the Icon of Jesus the Servant, we deacons of the Diocese of Oakland strive to proclaim the Gospel though works of charity and justice.
Mission Statement
Rooted in the marketplace, and graced by ordination we are called to:
- advocate for and serve the poor and marginalized in our diocese;
- foster ministries which encourage the faithful to live out their baptismal call to service;
- assist the Bishop and priests in nurturing the spiritual lives of the faithful in our parishes;
- witness a life of gratitude through being faithful stewards of God’s gifts, graces, and resources.
