Meet our men in formation

These men are currently in formation for the permanent diaconate for the Archdiocese of Birmingham.

This process normally takes four years, during which time the students usually attend St. Mary's College, Oscott once a month, with independent study and assignments completed at home. They also spend time doing pastoral work, particularly in their sponsoring parish, amongst the people they will - God willing - be serving in the future as deacons.

Please pray for our men in formation for the diaconate.
