Why do you want to be a deacon?

My wife and I have always had a strong desire to serve God and his Church which led to our involvement with our local parish and in Catholic education. Now that our seven children are young adults, we feel that God has increased that desire to serve him and our Catholic community in another deeper vocational call.
