Deacon Ordination-Pictured is part of the ceremonies for the
recent ordination of new deacons at the Virgen De San Juan
Shrine in San Juan.
A class of 23 new Permanent
Deacons for the Diocese of
Brownsville were ordained in a
Malss celebrated by Bishop Fit-
zpatrick on May 5, at the
Virgen de San Juan del Valle
Shrine.
Deacon candidates ordained
from Brownsville were Mr.
Roberto Cano, Mr. Heriberto
Trevino, Mr. Gilberto Borja,
and Mr. Felipe Trevino all of
Saint Mary, Mother of the
Church parish, from Im-
maculate Conception
Cathedral, Mr. John Kinch, and
Mr. Arturo Rodriguez, Mr.
Albino Olvera from Our Lady
of Good Counsel parish, Mr.
Juan Navarro, Mr. Bruno
Cedillo and Mr. Bruce Aiken
from Christ the King parish and
Mr. Frank Galvan from Saint
Joseph parish.
Others ordained from
throughout the Valley were;
Silvestre Garcia, of Saint
Joseph parish in Edinburg, Jose
Castro of Saint Anne parish in
Pharr, Eduardo Reyna of Saint
John the Baptist in San Juan,
Hugo de la Cruz of Sacred
Heart in Elsa, Benito Saenz, of
Holy Family in La Grulla, Lucio
Flores of Our Lady, Queen of
the Angels in Sullivan City,
Juan Delgado of Saint Martin
de Porras in Weslaco, and
Margarito Briones of Im-
maculate Heart of Mary in
Harlingen, Also from San
Benito, Ignacio Gonzalez of
Saint Cecilia parish, Manuel
Sanchez, of Saint Benedict and
Louis Oden of Queen of Peace.
Candidates for the Diaconate
undergo three years of
education and spiritual for-
mation. Once ordained, they
assist the Bishop and priests,
and are empowered to counsel,
perform baptismals and
marriages, visit and bring
communion to the sick, and
participate in Masses and
liturgical events. Deacons
cannot, however, hear con-
fessions or solely celebrate
Mass, and they are excluded
from the sacrament of the sick
when confession is involved.
Permanent deacons are
normally married but, under
Canon Law, cannot remarry if
their spouse predeceases them.
If a widowed deacon wishes to
become a priest, his education
begins anew. The Permanent
Diaconate, originally was to be
a transitional state between
the seminary and the
priesthood.
According to the Acts of the
Apostles, as the early Church
grew, there were numerous
complaints that the needs of
Greek-speaking widows were
being neglected. The apostles
suggested that the community
choose seven men to undertake
this ministry. These seven men
were the first deacons of the
Church. Correspondingly,
deacon is derived from the
Greek diakonos, which means
servant.
The Diocese of Brownsville
after this ordination has a total
of 46 diocesan permanent
Deacons to serve the com-
munity of the Valley.
