Who supervises deacons?
Deacons are directly accountable to Bishop Ahrens. In a parish, the deacon is supervised by the priest in charge. Expectations for the deacon’s assignment are detailed in an agreement signed by the deacon, priest and bishop. (See sample Letter of Agreement.) Priest and deacon meet at least monthly for supervision. Deacons report to Bishop Ahrens in writing at least twice a year.
