A deacon is a member of the clergy and an ordained minister of the Catholic Church.\u00a0 There are three groups, or \u201corders,\u201d of ordained ministers in the Church: bishops, presbyters and deacons.\u00a0 Deacons are ordained as a sacramental sign to the Church and to the world of Christ, who came \u201cto serve and not to be served.\u201d\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n
The five men ordained are:<\/p>\n
Jose Manuel Bueno
\nChurch of St. Martha, Uniondale<\/p>\n
John Douglas Horn
\nChurch of St. James, Seaford<\/p>\n
