Diaconate Ordination
A good friend of ours became a transitional deacon, simply meaning a man on the way to priesthood. Deacons1 are ordained ministers of the Catholic Church, and following his Diaconate Ordination Mass, we set up a congratulatory backdrop for him and a permanent deacon2, who was ordained at the same Mass. The evening after, our newly ordained deacon celebrated a Mass of Thanksgiving, and for the reception that followed, we set up the same congratulatory set up on the right side of the stage, and a personalized version on the left side, along with some custom favors for guests. This included his love for tacos, a framed photoshopped portrait of his dog, and the chip bags with his favorite chips inside.

Footnotes
1 The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) provides a definition of a deacon and his role in the church as: “A deacon is an ordained minister of the Catholic Church. There are three
groups, or ‘orders,’ of ordained ministers in the Church: bishops, presbyters and deacons. Deacons are ordained as a sacramental sign to the Church and to the world of Christ, who came ‘to serve and not to be served.’ The entire Church is called by Christ to serve, and the deacon, in virtue of his sacramental ordination and through his various ministries, is to be a servant in a servant-Church.” More information can be read here.
2 Not all deacons become priests, and those that are “permanent deacons” will always be deacons and rarely transition to be ordained to the priesthood. Please see link in Footnote 1 for more information.
