After your visit, we hope you will have a better understanding of the vocation to the permanent diaconate in the Catholic Church.

If you would like additional information or assistance discerning whether or not you may have a calling to this vocation,  please contact the director, listed on our "Staff" page.

I may be ready to enter the Aspirant Phase if I:
