I once heard the late Cardinal Francis George of Chicago echo these words by de- scribing Catholic education as the only “truly free education possible.” In this statement, he spoke not about financial costs, but about the same Backpacks blessed at St. Bernadette true freedom mentioned by the late Holy Father. Our children are free to learn in an academically rigorous environment that continues to be on the leading edge of education, with initiatives such as support to children with special needs, standards-based grading, and the invest- ment in forward-looking STEM programs. They are free to participate in top-notch athletics, extracurriculars, and fine arts programs. But most importantly, our students are in the only place where they can freely encounter Jesus Christ and be formed into disciples through an envi- ronment of faith, prayer and service that forms the solid foundation of Catholic education. Nowhere else is this possible, other than through the valuable gift of our Catholic schools. We are blessed to be in a diocese where Catholic education is avail- able for children beginning at six weeks old (at Our Lady of Bethlehem School and Childcare in Columbus), continuing through 41 other ele- mentary schools and 11 high schools, and leading right into undergrad- uate and graduate programs at Ohio Dominican University.

The essence of a deacon’s role in the Catholic Church can be found in the Greek words from which the English word ‘deacon’ is derived – diakonos, or servant, and diakonia, or service to others. “A deacon is an icon of Jesus as servant,” said Deacon Frank Iannarino, director of the diocesan Office of the Diaconate. “Given the grace of Holy Orders, a deacon helps the Church in its ministry of Word, Altar, and Charity, helping the bishop fulfill his own role as deacon.” The order of deacon goes back to the earliest days of the Church, when seven men were ordained as dea- cons to serve the community of believers in Jerusalem. Today, all men who are ordained priests are first ordained as deacons, serving in that role usually for a year. The diaconate also included laymen for the Church’s first 500 years or so, but lay deacons es- sentially disappeared from the Church for the next 1,500 years or so until the Second Vatican Council document Lumen Gentium recommended resto- ration of the permanent diaconate. Pope Paul VI implemented that recommendation in 1967. One year later, the permanent diaconate was restored in the United States. “It’s no accident that the diaconate is the first of the Holy Orders,” Deacon Iannarino said. “If you talk to most deacons in the diocese, they say they already had been serving their parish for years, were looking for a way to extend that service to the uni- versal Church, and wanted to help others embrace the idea of being servant ministers.” That’s why Deacon Roger Pry, who on March 25, 1975, became the first permanent deacon or- dained for the Diocese of Columbus, was inter- ested in the diaconate. “I knew I wasn’t called to the priesthood, but I wanted to serve God in some way,” said Deacon Pry, who in his 43 years as a deacon has served Columbus St. Augustine Church until 2001 and Canal Winchester St. John XXIII Church since then. Because the Columbus diocese had not started tinctive vestment, the dalmatic, a long, wide-sleeved Johnston, who was ordained in 1985 and retired a training program for deacons, he began training tunic given that name because of its origins in Dal- in 2015, serving at Columbus St. Joseph Cathedral for the diaconate in 1972 in a former seminary near matia, now part of Croatia. for his entire diaconal career.

er through RCIA, presiding at Catholic marriage ceremonies and those in which civil marriages are validated by the Church, delivering Communion at hospitals and homes, or just talking to people after Mass and hearing what’s on their minds. The people I minister to also minister to me as I see the depth of their faith. “Probably my biggest challenge comes in prepar- ing for the homilies I deliver on certain Sundays. There’s a strong awareness that your task is to break open the Word of God. This is something I always take seriously in the hope that through the Holy Spirit, what I say will plant a seed that will grow. Once I deliver the homily, it’s out of my hands. It’s the Holy Spirit’s work.” Deacon Kelly and the other deacons interviewed for this story all stressed the importance of having a strong, supportive family in allowing them to fulfill their calling. A deacon’s wife has to be a practicing Catholic. “Knowing that your wife and children are back- ing you up is indispensable,” he said. “As a deacon, your first vocation is to be a husband and father. If the family isn’t on board, your second vocation (to the diaconate) won’t work. Sometimes I have to be away from home or leave my job and head straight for church. They understand this, and they contribute to whatever success I have as a deacon by their pa- tience and willingness to share me with the Church.” “You (deacons) are part of two worlds,” Bishop Frederick Campbell said last year as he delivered the keynote speech to the National Association of Diaconate Directors convention in Columbus. “You are clerics – there is no such thing as a lay deacon – but you also have a profession and are part of a world in which your faith commitments may not be widely shared. So understand what a deacon is and what a vocation to the diaconate is about. … A dea- con is not a ‘junior varsity priest,’ as I’ve heard in some descriptions.” Bishop Campbell has been a strong supporter of the diaconate throughout his 13 years as shepherd of the Diocese of Columbus and the five years before to.” He also said being a deacon is “a constant re- I should think about becoming a deacon,” he said. that when he was auxiliary bishop of St. Paul-Min- minder of the gift of service you have been given. “So I took the necessary preliminary classes, put in neapolis.
