“By the time I was a teenager I began to ask God to let me know his will for me,” he says. “The first time I distinctly heard his reply was when I met my Doreen, whom I knew with certainty was to become my wife. It was through working with RCIA that I realized that God was calling me to the diaconate. Upon entering the formation program, I felt the same type of certainty as when I met my wife, that peaceful and energized feeling from knowing that this is part of God’s plan for me.”
