“My youth minister asked, ‘If you could be a priest, would you want to?’ Without blinking, I said yes to him, not knowing what it mean. That was a game-changing moment in my life. I started imagining it for the first time. Priesthood is in desperate need of renewal. In coming to this realization I have experienced a call to the diaconate. God is calling me to be a servant and to represent and promote the church’s call to service. The diaconate is a place for the church’s renewal. The diaconate is a moment for the whole church to recognize that women can serve in persona Christi.”
