Ordination to the Diaconate: Charley Vaughan

On August 10, 2024 Archbishop Dunn will ordain Charley Vaughan to the diaconate.  The ordination will take place at 10:00am at Saint Mary’s Cathedral Basilica.  You are invited to join in the event to celebrate this new chapter in Charley’s ministry.

Charley was born in Halifax, the youngest of three children of Charles and Shirley. He graduated from St. Patrick’s High School in Halifax and went on to complete a Bachelor of Commerce degree from Saint Mary’s University. In his professional career, he worked in sales in a number of different industries, and retired in 2021.

He resides in Cole Harbour with his wife Wendy, where they have been active members of Divine Mercy Parish for over three decades. In 2016, Charley helped to found FM645, a Men’s Group at Divine Mercy Parish where Catholic men have an opportunity to share faith and fellowship each week.

Charley and Wendy have three adult sons, Will, Alex, and Matt, as well as two daughters-in-law and two grandchildren.

We invite you to pray for Charley and his family as he prepares to be ordained a deacon for service and ministry in the Archdiocese of Halifax-Yarmouth.
