The Diaconal Ministry of the Diocese of Austin has graciously informed Faithful throughout our Diocese about this humble Total Consecration effort. We are very grateful to our Deacons and their wives who faithfully and lovingly serve our Holy Church.

Catholic men between the ages of 30 and 59 (single or married) sensing God’s call to the permanent diaconate are invited to contact the Diocese of Austin's Diaconal Ministry.

To assist men in your discernment of God's possible call to Holy Orders, the Diaconal Ministry's website offers some documents for your prayerful reading and links to other resources.

The Knights of Columbus of the Diocese of Austin has graciously informed Faithful throughout our Diocese about this humble Total Consecration effort.

The Knights of Columbus was founded by Father Michael J. McGivney and chartered on March 29, 1882, in the state of Connecticut. The purpose of the organization was to help Catholic men remain steadfast in their faith through mutual encouragement, to promote closer ties of fraternity among them and to set up an elementary system of insurance so that the widows and children of members who die would not find themselves in dire financial straits. The name was chosen because it related to Christopher Columbus, the Catholic discoverer of America, and because it would signify that the membership embodied knightly ideals of spirituality and service to church, country and fellowman.

Today, the Knights of Columbus is an international society with membership in Canada, Mexico, the Philippines, Poland and other nations, numbering more than 2 million Catholic men, plus their families. There are more than 113,000 members in Texas who have dedicated themselves to the ideals of Columbianism: charity, unity, fraternity and patriotism.
