What is diaconia?

Diaconia is helping people based on christian love. Diaconia is church social work. Diaconal work especially helps those who are in the greatest need and who cannot get help elsewhere. We offer individual support according to your life situations and help you find ways to move forward.

You do not need to be a member of the lutheran church to receive help. We respect your religious or non-religious convictions based on the principle of freedom of religion and belief. All consultations are strictly confidential and free of charge. Diaconal work is primarily mental and spiritual support, i.e. conversation and soul care. Under certain conditions, you may be entitled to temporary material or financial aid.

The deacon can be met by appointment either at the parish hall in the deacon's office or at your home by contacting the deacon at tel. +358 40 574 5625 or maria.ruskavaara@evl.fi
