- Boston Diaconate Community Convocation - June 1, 2013
- This year's Diaconate Community Convocation will be held on Saturday, June 1, 2013, from 8:30AM to 3:00 PM
at the Archdiocesan Pastoral Center, 66 Brooks Drive, Braintree, MA. (Directions to the Pastoral Center are
included with this mailing.) The response to the Convocations over the past several years has been very positive.
All who have participated have considered it a very worthwhile day spent with their brother deacons and wives.
We expect that this year's Convocation will be even better than in the past. The registration form is included
with this letter.
The Convocation annually presents a wonderful opportunity to celebrate liturgy and meet with Cardinal Sean.
Our Keynote speaker for the morning session will be Bishop Arthur L. Kennedy, Vicar for the New Evangelization
who will share his insights on the New Evangelization and the role of deacons in promoting it in the market
place. Our afternoon speaker will be Mother Olga Yakoub, foundress of the Daughters of Mary of Nazareth, a
community dedicated to the New Evangelization. She will address deacons as Servants of the New
Evangelization.
As in the past, we are asking $40.00 PER PERSON (Payable by the parish or institution to which the deacon is
assigned) made payable to RCAB, to help defray the costs of the Convocation. This financial support is sincerely
appreciated. (Senior Deacons, their wives and the formation classes are welcome as our guests.)
Please note that you MUST PRE-REGISTER WITH THE ENCLOSED FORM by May 22d to help us plan for lunch
attendance. THERE WILL NOT BE REGISTRATION AT THE DOOR ON THE DAY OF THE CONVOCATION.
We are excited about this year's convocation and look forward to seeing you on June 1st!!
