All men interested in the diaconate are invited to attend at St. Lawrence Gathering at Corpus Christi Parish in Council Bluffs on June 29th at 4 PM. The St. Lawrence Gatherings offer men that are called to diakonia - to service - an opportunity to investigate the Permanent Diaconate. The men, and their wives if married, will have a chance to ask questions in a relaxed atmosphere, learn more about life as a deacon, and hear others share their vocation stories

Deacon Jim Houston, Director of the Permanent Diaconate, along with other deacons will be present to share their experience of being an ordained Deacon, answer questions, offer support and encouragement for the men and their wives as they follow the Lord's call.

Barbecue lunch will be provided. Wives are encouraged to attend.
