Why do you want to be a deacon?

I’ve come to believe the only way to live “life abundant” is to align our will and lives to God’s plan. Through prayer in the journey of the discernment process and reflecting on all that God has done for me in my life, I believe the Spirit is calling me to a deeper love of God and service to God’s people through the special service of the diaconate.
