Deacon Joseph DePage
Holy Cross Catholic Church, Santa Cruz, California
June 2, 2021
“In ministry, I have been blessed to know many excellent and Spirit-driven women in our parishes, social organizations and classrooms. More than once, I have thought, ‘Ah, now that person has a sense of diakonia!’ Just as the Church is richer for having deacons, the diaconate will be richer and more representative when we see the restoration of women to the Order.”
Deacon Joseph DePage is assigned to Holy Cross Catholic Church in Santa Cruz, California, in the Diocese of Monterey.

“If women were able to serve as deacons, it would magnify the grace and love of God and make it more widely available.”

“I was not raised Catholic but converted in my adult life. As a child, Mother Mary would appear to me often…I believe Mary appearing to me as a child who knew nothing about the Catholic Church was more than her wanting me to find Christ through the Church. I believe she came to me because I was meant to do more for the Church.”

“I felt seen in my call to pastoral care, to teaching, to preaching—just as clearly as my ordained colleagues are seen in theirs. I felt valued. Not invisible. Not dismissed. I don’t know what the future holds—for me, or for the role of women in the Church. But I know this: I have hope.”
