This short booklet was inspired by five guys who received the call to become Catholic Deacons. That line might sound like the start of a hilarious joke, but it's the foundation of a meaningful journey. This little book reflects the winding path to the clergy within the context of Catholicism. Once ordained, a Catholic Deacon is obedient to his local bishop; however, let’s be honest—he first answers to his wife, who even has the right of first refusal on his ordination. Before the ordination, a prospective deacon's spouse must give her approval to the bishop through a sealed handwritten letter. Without that letter, the journey ends. This booklet is written as a letter to friends and family, offering a humorous exploration of vocation, career, and the intersection of faith and career.
