Permanent deacons of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia met for an assembly Saturday afternoon, Aug. 9, at St. Charles Borromeo Seminary in Wynnewood. The meeting was followed by the annual Deacon Day picnic in St. Joseph’s Courtyard at the seminary, where the deacons and their wives were joined by Archbishop Chaput.
