NOTE: The Archbishop prefers that DOS DVP candidates take their written/instructional portion of their training using Fr. Silviu’s diaconal/catechetical training program. Candidates must still complete the endorsement process below and apply to the OCA DVP program before beginning their training; they are also required to complete two (2) in-person diaconal practicum sessions sponsored and coordinated by the OCA DVP Program.
