Dicastery for the Clergy

The Dicastery for the Clergy deals with everything that relates to the presbyters and deacons of the diocesan clergy concerning their persons, their pastoral ministry and what is necessary for its fruitful exercise. In such matters it offers the bishops appropriate help.

 

The Dicastery manifests and implements the solicitude of the Apostolic See with regard to the formation of candidates for Holy Orders.

Deacons are the custodians of service in the Church, consequently they can be said to be the custodians of true "power" in the Church, so that no one goes beyond the power of service.

Pope Francis

The heart of the priest is a heart pierced by the love of the Lord; therefore he no longer looks to himself -- he should not look to himself -- but is turned to God and to his brothers and sisters. 

Pope Francis
