Acceptance

Bishop Paul S. Loverde has accepted my application to begin the Aspirancy period of the Permanent Diaconate Formation Program in the Diocese of Arlington. After the nine-month Aspirancy period of discernment is successfully completed I will attend classes consisting of spiritual, theological and pastoral formation conducted by the Notre Dame Graduate School of Christendom College for two weekends per month over a four-year period. God willing, I will be ordained as a Permanent Deacon at the conclusion of the candidacy program. Please keep my wife and I in your prayers as we seek to follow God’s will.
