Investiture of Ordinands in Dalmatic and Stole The newly ordained are vested with the dalmatic and stole as a sign of the deacon’s office.

Handing On of the Book of Gospels The deacon’s duty is to proclaim the Gospel and preach its meaning by word and by the example of his life. The Book of Gospels is presented to the newly ordained deacons.

Kiss of Peace At the conclusion of the ordination rite, the archbishop extends the fraternal greeting that acknowledges the deacon as a co-worker in the ministry of the Church. Representatives of the diaconate then share this sign with the new deacons.
