Petition for Candidacy

Most Reverend Wilton D Gregory Archbishop of Atlanta

680 West Peachtree Street, N. W. Atlanta, Georgia 30308-1984

Your Excellency:


I (your full Christian name), a layman of the Archdiocese of Atlanta, do hereby petition that I be officially accepted as a candidate for the Order of Diaconate for service in the Archdiocese of Atlanta. I have considered this request very seriously. I know that there is much I must do to prepare myself spiritually, academically and pastorally before I shall be qualified for the Call to Diaconate. At this time I am earnest in requesting your acceptance as a candidate so that I might seriously pursue this Call. I am not doing so out of force or fear, and trust that God will give me the grace to fulfill His will in this matter .


Respectfully yours in Christ,


Your Signature (as above)


Name of city where executed and date:


Witnessed by: priest or deacon witness' signature
