In partnership with the ARDDPQ (Assembly of Diocesan Leaders of the Permanent Diaconate of Quebec), Carrefour Intervocational is very pleased to offer you tools to mark the 15th Provincial Day of the Permanent Diaconate on the first Wednesday of October, October 1, 2025. To encourage as many people as possible to participate, please feel free to highlight this event in your community during the Sunday gathering before (September 27) or after (October 5).

At Carrefour intervocationnel, we are committed to promoting vocations and different forms of commitment to following Christ, including the diaconate.

This is an opportunity to:

• thank the deacons,
• pray for them and their families,
• pray for new diaconal vocations
• support aspiring deacons and their formators, and
• raise awareness among young people about the dimension of charitable service.

To highlight this event in Christian communities, we offer suggestions that you can find online, such as inviting a deacon to share his vocation or writing a thank-you letter to a deacon, his wife, or their family. Browse the website to find other ideas and be inspired to share the joy of the diaconal vocation in your community.

For greater impact, share in your networks with the hashtags

May St. Joseph, guardian of vocations, watch over all deacons!
