Upcoming meetings will help men learn about the diaconate
Starting on Sept. 23, the archdiocesan Office of Deacon Formation will start a series of meetings to help interested men learn more about the diaconate and discern if God might be calling them to this vocation. The seven sessions will occur on a monthly basis at locations across central and southern Indiana, and will be held from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. The learning and discernment that each meeting will facilitate will lead to the formation of the archdiocese’s third class of deacon aspirants that will begin its formation in August 2013.

Dearing not only shares those hopes from her own life, she also shares the path that has helped her reach them in the past 12 years. She sums up her advice in three words: Take a retreat. (Page 7)
