Welcome to the website for the Diocese of Lexington's Deacon Formation Program. For those in formation, please use this site to keep up to date on what is happening in the program. We have added new content as we plan for the year of aspirancy to start in September 2011 for the next class of permanent deacons who will be ordained in June of 2016.
Members of the "Class of 2012" should consult the right sidebar labelled for your class. Here you will find the class schedule. St. Meinrad Course Descriptions are listed under the "Academics" sidebar to the right.
