Is God calling you?

God is calling each of us to serve one another in charity and love as Pope Francis regularly speaks to this call. For some, there is a particular invitation to serve Christ and the Church in ordained ministry. The permanent diaconate is a ministry of service that is open to married and single men. In the words of Pope Saint John Paul II, the ministry of the deacon “is the Church’s service sacramentalized”.

Because deacons work in the secular world and most are married men with families, they share in the worries and stresses of daily life. Permanent deacons know well the difficulties of balancing faith, family, and financial security. Through the deacon living in the world as an ordained minister, the Church knows personally the challenges, demands, fears, and anxieties of the People of God. By his vocation the deacon bridges work, family, and leisure with the life of the Church find the best aiport service in san diego. In fact, by living and working in the secular world, the deacon seeks to model, in his person, the integration of what one believes and how one lives.
