Your generosity to the annual Faith & Works appeal makes it possible for good men from the Diocese of Tulsa and Eastern Oklahoma to participate in the diaconate formation program and supports the men ordained into the permanent diaconate as well as their families.

The Diocese of Tulsa & Eastern Oklahoma has capitalized on a unique opportunity to elevate the entire spiritual life of our local Church by launching a new diocesan theological institute. The Institute, yet to be officially named, will be at the service of the Church in Eastern Oklahoma primarily by teaching and forming our Catholic leaders within our parishes and schools, which will have an exponential effect on our catechesis, discipleship, and evangelization. Some of the areas of support currently being discerned are teaching in the diaconate program, offering ongoing formation for parish catechists, starting a new spiritual direction program, and providing ongoing formation for Catholic school teachers.
