Called to Serve: The Order of Deacons by Deacon Chris Pagel

The speaker for October 2024 was the newly ordained deacon serving at St. John Henry Newman Catholic Church Deacon Christopher Pagel. In his talk, he shared his journey on becoming a deacon. What kind of obligations does the diaconate entail for the parish and at home? And as a husband, a father of five young children, and also a leader of several organizations, how does he keep everything in balance? His wife, Ashley, briefly shared her experience as well.
