ResumoResumo: O autor, como Diretor da Escola Diaconal da Arquidiocese de Florianopolis, presta homenagem a Dom Afonso Niehues, neste ano do centenario do seu nascimento, recordando que essa Escola foi fundada por ele, em 1971, depois da formacao dos nossos primeiros Diaconos permanentes na Escola Diaconal de Porto Alegre. A partir de uma homilia de Dom Afonso, proferida em 1987, no Congresso Internacional do Diaconato Permanente, em Itaici, SP, o autor analisa o conceito do Arcebispo sobre o tema, confrontando-o com os varios documentos eclesiais que foram sendo publicados, inclusive o Documento de Aparecida.

Nem por isso, deixamos de promove-los. Abstract: A special tribute in homage to bishop Afonso Niehues is rendered by the author as Director of the School of Deacons of the Archdiocese of Florianopolis, on the occasion of the century of his birth. This tribute is due to his initiative to lay the foundation of this school in 1971, after the graduation of the first permanent deacons at the School of Deacons in Porto Alegre. Based on a homily delivered by the Archbishop Niehues at the International Congress on Permanent Deacons in Itaici, SP, in 1987, the author analyses the viewpoint of the Archbishop on the role of deacons, in appraisal and comparison with various ecclesial documents which since then have been published specially in the light of the Document of Aparecida. As regards the problems which the Permanent Deaconate is facing right now the author raises a question in the context of many other ministries which in the Church are confronted with difficulties and challenges. In spite of it we don’t give up to render our support.
