It has been 40 years since that Saturday afternoon, October 18, 1986\u2014the feast of St. Luke\u2014when Patriarch Marco C\u00e9 ordained the first twelve deacons in St. Mark\u2019s Basilica, thereby implementing one of the innovations of the Second Vatican Council in our diocese as well: the restoration of the diaconate as a stable and permanent ministry in the Church\u2014no longer merely a stepping stone to the priesthood\u2014and, furthermore, the possibility of conferring it on married men.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Among others, the Vicar General, Monsignor Giuseppe Visentin, and the theologian Father Nini Barbato\u2014who are responsible for the formation of deacons\u2014also participated in the concelebration. Of the first twelve deacons, six are celebrating this anniversary in heaven: Antonio Maschietto, Ilario Albertini, Arturo Pedrazzi, Antonio Dariol, Giuseppe Pistolato, and Gianni Ferraresi, who, as a member of the Diocesan Pastoral Council immediately following Patriarch Marco C\u00e8\u2019s arrival in Venice, actively collaborated in the restoration of the permanent diaconate in our diocese. Here are the other six deacons: Antonio Sinatora, Benito Colecchia, Matteo Bognolo, Gino Cintolo, Sergio Sabbadin, and Tiziano Scatto. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Il diacono <\/span><\/span><\/span>Giuseppe Pistolato<\/b><\/span><\/span>, known to everyone as Bepi\u2014who was already a widower with three children at the time of his ordination\u2014would have turned 100 on November 17, but he passed away in recent days. A witness to the faith and an example of humanity, he served as a deacon in his parish in Zelarino and in a prison in Venice until a few years ago. Bepi recalled the five years of formation and preparation for the diaconate, which were a \u201ctime of falling in love with the Word and with Charity. Patriarch Marco C\u00e8\u2019s invitation, conveyed by Father Piero Lucchetta, asked me to accept this invitation to attend this course on a trial basis. I responded with my \u2018yes,\u2019 which I then repeated on the day of my ordination.\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Il diacono <\/span><\/span>Tiziano Scatto<\/b><\/span><\/span>, secretary of the Diaconal Community, is the only unmarried man among the twelve ordained 40 years ago, and this is how he recalls that ecclesial event. \u201cForty years have passed since that October 18, 1986, when, in a packed St. Mark\u2019s Basilica, Cardinal Patriarch Marco, with tears in his eyes, ordained the first 12 deacons to the permanent diaconate. The formation and discernment process lasted five years; at the start, there were as many as 54 couples, but as time went on, the process of discernment took its course, and in the end, 12 of us remained: ten married men, one widower, and one unmarried man. Some had a college degree, some a high school diploma, and others a middle school diploma; all had jobs and professions, as well as young children to raise. We were all aware that we were embarking on something new for the Venetian Church, for our parishes, and for the presbyterate\u2014which had not always been open to this ministry: the issue of married deacons posed a bit of a problem. I remember it as if it were yesterday, when, after the ordination, Patriarch Marco handed me the missio canonica (which every deacon receives in accordance with Canon Law) and which consists of the mission that the bishop entrusts to every ordained cleric. He told me: \u201cYou\u2019ll have to break down doors, tear down walls; it will be exhausting and you\u2019ll get hurt, because the diaconate is a beautiful innovation, willed by the Spirit and by the Council, but not everyone understands or wants it. Yet we must obey the Spirit.\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWho is the deacon?\u201d Scatto asks. \u201cWhat does he have to say to the whole Church?\u201d \u201cThe deacon does not do something; rather, he is: he is, in the Church and in the world, the sign of Jesus the Servant, and he shows the whole Church that everyone\u2019s task is to serve according to the example of Jesus, who is among us as the one who serves. The deacon embodies the face of a Church that is born and reborn through the Gospel that is proclaimed, incarnated in relationships of love, and witnessed to through actions and relationships of authentic humanity and humanization for all. The ministry of deacons is not expressed in presiding over the gathered community, but in the active promotion of a Church of service, a Samaritan Church, which in this history cares for everyone and which demands and walks the paths of justice. To be a Church of the washing of the feet, in imitation of Jesus, Lord and Master, who subverts worldly logic and actively opens up a new style of relationships.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Il diacono <\/span><\/span>Sergio Sabbadin <\/b><\/span><\/span> He recalls how \u201cwith great trepidation, in 1986, I was ordained a deacon for the Church in Venice. Forty years ago, I wasn\u2019t fully aware of what it meant to be a deacon, since I had no role model to follow. I put my trust in the Holy Trinity. I was 36 years old and already had two children: Gilberto, who was 8 (and later became Father Gilberto), and Giovanna, who was just 2. My wife, Ivana, played a decisive role in my journey of formation for the diaconate. I worked as a nurse. Patriarch Marco commissioned me to serve in the parish where I lived, S.M. Ausiliatrice della Gazzera. Subsequently, Patriarch Angelo Scola conferred a new mandate upon me: for the past fifteen years, I have served as a religious assistant at the Ospedale dell\u2019Angelo in Mestre and am part of the small chaplaincy community, which strives to fulfill the valuable service of visiting hospitalized patients and their relatives. I have been reappointed to this role of religious assistance by Patriarch Francesco.\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Recalling the homily\u2014with its prophetic tone\u2014delivered by Patriarch C\u00e8 on the occasion of the ordination of the first 12 permanent deacons in our diocese, Sabbadin emphasizes \u201cthe exhortation not to be afraid, and furthermore: \u2018Remember that the Spirit has no limits and no boundaries, and that your diaconal ordination will always accompany you and must make you a sign of God\u2019s love and of a Church that is \u201csent and serving\u201d the Gospel for the salvation of humanity.\u2019\u201d \u201cWith all my limitations and shortcomings, I have tried to keep this exhortation in mind, knowing that I am not alone, but under the powerful guidance of the Holy Spirit and His Holy Church.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Il diacono <\/span><\/span>Antonio Sinatora<\/b><\/span><\/span> Reflecting on the forty years that have passed since the permanent diaconate was introduced in the Diocese of Venice, he recalls \u201cthe lovable figure of Patriarch Marco, who was truly a father to the first twelve men called to the ministry, supporting them throughout their formation with his constant presence, particularly during the spiritual exercises.\u201d The six years of preparation were a precious time, not only for studying the disciplines related to the ministry, but also for the beautiful fellowship that developed among the families of the future deacons. I also recall it, however, as a time of spiritual struggle marked by the emergence of doubts, certainties, and uncertainties\u2014a time to learn to fly with the unfailing help of our various teachers and the Patriarch, through that guiding hand ever ready to correct and encourage. The ordination ceremony was truly beautiful; it adorned St. Mark\u2019s Basilica in festive attire, as it filled with the faithful from various communities\u2014a celebration felt particularly deeply by those who believed in the diaconate as the completion of the ordained ministries. After the ordination, I was confirmed in my service to the community of St. Lawrence the Martyr for the areas of catechesis, liturgy, and charity\u2014responsibilities I had already been carrying out for years, with the help of my wife in regard to catechesis for children and young people. Forty years\u2014a long period rich in human and spiritual joys, as well as times of hardship and sacrifice that involved the entire family, yet one marked by great serenity.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Il diacono <\/span><\/span>Matteo Bognolo<\/b><\/span><\/span> He has always served in the Lido di Venezia, first at the parish of St. Anthony and later at that of St. Elizabeth. In an interview a few years ago, as he recalled his ordination, what immediately came to mind was that \u201cPatriarch Marco had warned us that the first ordination would be a bold undertaking and that no one could know how it would turn out\u2026 An enlightened formator used to tell the deacons in formation: \u2018Spend more time at the church door and less in the sacristy.\u2019 I am glad to have carried the cross over the past years, and as far as the diaconate is concerned, I see a bright future, because Patriarch Francesco has reopened the path.\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Il diacono <\/span><\/span>Gino Cintolo<\/b><\/span><\/span>, after his ordination, he was assigned to continue his catechetical ministry at the Parish of the Resurrection in the Cita neighborhood of Marghera, where he has lived since 1971. He recalls that, due to the expected birth of his second child in early December 1986, it was not possible to schedule his ordination for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, as had initially been planned: \u201cThe simultaneous arrival of the diaconate and our second child in our family forced Paola and me to find a new balance, which was not always easy.\u201d And here a passage from Patriarch Marco\u2019s homily at the ordination of these first 12 deacons comes to mind: \u201cFor those whom the Lord has called through the Sacrament of Matrimony, their wives have also expressed their support for their husbands\u2019 choice, thus affirming\u2014in accordance with the Church\u2019s teaching\u2014the conviction that, with the help of the Lord and the sacraments, the gift of the diaconate will not contradict but rather confirm the grace of their marriage.\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":89,"featured_media":22335,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"give_campaign_id":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2197],"tags":[3456,3380,3381,3194,1999],"class_list":["post-22375","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-crux-en","tag-40-years","tag-deacons","tag-diaconate","tag-st-mark","tag-venice"],"acf":{"categoria":[2197],"categoria_source":{"label":"Category","type":"taxonomy","formatted_value":[{"term_id":2197,"name":"Crux","slug":"crux-en","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":2197,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":23,"filter":"raw"}]},"sottotitolo_h2":"A decision that originated with the Second Vatican Council and was brought to Venice.

Il diacono <\/span><\/span>Tiziano Scatto<\/b><\/span><\/span>, secretary of the Diaconal Community, is the only unmarried man among the twelve ordained 40 years ago, and this is how he recalls that ecclesial event. \u201cForty years have passed since that October 18, 1986, when, in a packed St. Mark\u2019s Basilica, Cardinal Patriarch Marco, with tears in his eyes, ordained the first 12 deacons to the permanent diaconate. The formation and discernment process lasted five years; at the start, there were as many as 54 couples, but as time went on, the process of discernment took its course, and in the end, 12 of us remained: ten married men, one widower, and one unmarried man. Some had a college degree, some a high school diploma, and others a middle school diploma; all had jobs and professions, as well as young children to raise. We were all aware that we were embarking on something new for the Venetian Church, for our parishes, and for the presbyterate\u2014which had not always been open to this ministry: the issue of married deacons posed a bit of a problem. I remember it as if it were yesterday, when, after the ordination, Patriarch Marco handed me the missio canonica (which every deacon receives in accordance with Canon Law) and which consists of the mission that the bishop entrusts to every ordained cleric. He told me: \u201cYou\u2019ll have to break down doors, tear down walls; it will be exhausting and you\u2019ll get hurt, because the diaconate is a beautiful innovation, willed by the Spirit and by the Council, but not everyone understands or wants it. Yet we must obey the Spirit.\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWho is the deacon?\u201d Scatto asks. \u201cWhat does he have to say to the whole Church?\u201d \u201cThe deacon does not do something; rather, he is: he is, in the Church and in the world, the sign of Jesus the Servant, and he shows the whole Church that everyone\u2019s task is to serve according to the example of Jesus, who is among us as the one who serves. The deacon embodies the face of a Church that is born and reborn through the Gospel that is proclaimed, incarnated in relationships of love, and witnessed to through actions and relationships of authentic humanity and humanization for all. The ministry of deacons is not expressed in presiding over the gathered community, but in the active promotion of a Church of service, a Samaritan Church, which in this history cares for everyone and which demands and walks the paths of justice. To be a Church of the washing of the feet, in imitation of Jesus, Lord and Master, who subverts worldly logic and actively opens up a new style of relationships.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Il diacono <\/span><\/span>Sergio Sabbadin <\/b><\/span><\/span> He recalls how \u201cwith great trepidation, in 1986, I was ordained a deacon for the Church in Venice. Forty years ago, I wasn\u2019t fully aware of what it meant to be a deacon, since I had no role model to follow. I put my trust in the Holy Trinity. I was 36 years old and already had two children: Gilberto, who was 8 (and later became Father Gilberto), and Giovanna, who was just 2. My wife, Ivana, played a decisive role in my journey of formation for the diaconate. I worked as a nurse. Patriarch Marco commissioned me to serve in the parish where I lived, S.M. Ausiliatrice della Gazzera. Subsequently, Patriarch Angelo Scola conferred a new mandate upon me: for the past fifteen years, I have served as a religious assistant at the Ospedale dell\u2019Angelo in Mestre and am part of the small chaplaincy community, which strives to fulfill the valuable service of visiting hospitalized patients and their relatives. I have been reappointed to this role of religious assistance by Patriarch Francesco.\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Recalling the homily\u2014with its prophetic tone\u2014delivered by Patriarch C\u00e8 on the occasion of the ordination of the first 12 permanent deacons in our diocese, Sabbadin emphasizes \u201cthe exhortation not to be afraid, and furthermore: \u2018Remember that the Spirit has no limits and no boundaries, and that your diaconal ordination will always accompany you and must make you a sign of God\u2019s love and of a Church that is \u201csent and serving\u201d the Gospel for the salvation of humanity.\u2019\u201d \u201cWith all my limitations and shortcomings, I have tried to keep this exhortation in mind, knowing that I am not alone, but under the powerful guidance of the Holy Spirit and His Holy Church.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Il diacono <\/span><\/span>Antonio Sinatora<\/b><\/span><\/span> Reflecting on the forty years that have passed since the permanent diaconate was introduced in the Diocese of Venice, he recalls \u201cthe lovable figure of Patriarch Marco, who was truly a father to the first twelve men called to the ministry, supporting them throughout their formation with his constant presence, particularly during the spiritual exercises.\u201d The six years of preparation were a precious time, not only for studying the disciplines related to the ministry, but also for the beautiful fellowship that developed among the families of the future deacons. I also recall it, however, as a time of spiritual struggle marked by the emergence of doubts, certainties, and uncertainties\u2014a time to learn to fly with the unfailing help of our various teachers and the Patriarch, through that guiding hand ever ready to correct and encourage. The ordination ceremony was truly beautiful; it adorned St. Mark\u2019s Basilica in festive attire, as it filled with the faithful from various communities\u2014a celebration felt particularly deeply by those who believed in the diaconate as the completion of the ordained ministries. After the ordination, I was confirmed in my service to the community of St. Lawrence the Martyr for the areas of catechesis, liturgy, and charity\u2014responsibilities I had already been carrying out for years, with the help of my wife in regard to catechesis for children and young people. Forty years\u2014a long period rich in human and spiritual joys, as well as times of hardship and sacrifice that involved the entire family, yet one marked by great serenity.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Il diacono <\/span><\/span>Matteo Bognolo<\/b><\/span><\/span> He has always served in the Lido di Venezia, first at the parish of St. Anthony and later at that of St. Elizabeth. In an interview a few years ago, as he recalled his ordination, what immediately came to mind was that \u201cPatriarch Marco had warned us that the first ordination would be a bold undertaking and that no one could know how it would turn out\u2026 An enlightened formator used to tell the deacons in formation: \u2018Spend more time at the church door and less in the sacristy.\u2019 I am glad to have carried the cross over the past years, and as far as the diaconate is concerned, I see a bright future, because Patriarch Francesco has reopened the path.\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Il diacono <\/span><\/span>Gino Cintolo<\/b><\/span><\/span>, after his ordination, he was assigned to continue his catechetical ministry at the Parish of the Resurrection in the Cita neighborhood of Marghera, where he has lived since 1971. He recalls that, due to the expected birth of his second child in early December 1986, it was not possible to schedule his ordination for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, as had initially been planned: \u201cThe simultaneous arrival of the diaconate and our second child in our family forced Paola and me to find a new balance, which was not always easy.\u201d And here a passage from Patriarch Marco\u2019s homily at the ordination of these first 12 deacons comes to mind: \u201cFor those whom the Lord has called through the Sacrament of Matrimony, their wives have also expressed their support for their husbands\u2019 choice, thus affirming\u2014in accordance with the Church\u2019s teaching\u2014the conviction that, with the help of the Lord and the sacraments, the gift of the diaconate will not contradict but rather confirm the grace of their marriage.\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n"},"paragrafi_articolo":null,"paragrafi_articolo_source":{"label":"Article Paragraphs","type":"repeater","formatted_value":false},"parole_chiave":[],"parole_chiave_source":{"label":"Keywords.","type":"taxonomy","formatted_value":false},"autore_esterno":"","autore_esterno_source":{"label":"Autore Esterno","type":"text","formatted_value":""}},"yoast_head":"\nThe First Permanent Deacons Reflect on Forty Years of Ministry -
