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 . |
