This article addresses the two fundamental dimensions of an integral formation of future permanent deacons, namely intellectual and pastoral formation. The rapid change that has come about in the conditions in which the per- manent diaconate is exercised, social and cultural changes, the development of ecclesiastical and secular sciences and the development of Christian life in the various moments of its existence all demand of the deacon a solid formation. This is an essential condition upon which the fruitfulness of the perma- nent diaconate depends. For this reason it is of great significance. The intellectual and pastoral formation of candidates for the permanent diaconate are bound tightly together and complement one another. The programmes for the formation in question are found in the national Rationes institutionis diaconorum permanentium, prepared by the Episcopal Conferences and approved by the Congregation for the Clergy. Intellectual formation must embrace all of the disciples that belong to the ecclesiastical sciences and those connected with them. Pastoral formation, on the other hand, must present the theoretical and practical aspects of the ministry of future deacons so that they can carry out their pastoral duties effectively among the People of God.
