If you are discerning the call to the Permanent Diaconate and have discussed your intentions with your pastor or to the Director of Diaconate Formation, we encourage you to secure your spot for this important meeting on the formation process.


How do you answer the following discernment questions?

  • If married, does our wife support your discernment of the diaconate?

  • Are you open to discern if God is calling you to be in the diaconate?

  • Can you relate to others as "one who serves"?

  • Are you committed to daily prayer?

  • Can you be self-sacrificing in giving yourself over to God's cause?

If you have any questions regarding your discernment, please don't hesitate to contact Deacon Gary Perrydore by email at gperrydore@dioceseoflansing.org or by phone at 517-898-1109.
