NC Catholics NOW

Five years ago they began a journey toward ordination day. And now a new journey begins for 11 men who became permanent deacons June 27, 2026. Join NC Catholics NOW for a look at ordination day and the path to becoming a deacon. Deacon Stephen Yates, a deacon for 22 years, and his wife, Adrienne Yates, who is vice chancellor for administration in the diocese, introduce the story for us!
