“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.
