I don't have a lot of time to write, but I wanted to at least drop a note here: by God's grace, I have been accepted into the Diaconate formation program. I am now officially a Deacon Aspirant! I'm so excited to continue my ongoing formation and discernment, and to continue to serve not just those in my local church, and not just in my Area Catholic Community, but in the larger community beyond. I will try to write more this weekend. Thanks to all of you for your prayers, as always!
