Who are the men answering the call to be a deacon?

A 45-yr-old man from rural Minnesota, married and the father of four helps out at the parish by distributing Holy Communion at weekend liturgies.   He feels moved to serve the Church in a more committed way and is especially interested in assisting the poor, the immigrants and those in need.

A 52-yr-old attends a Cursillo, returns to his parish and volunteers to assist at Mass as a lector.  He  helps the pastor in many useful ways and finds he enjoys talking about his faith with the Catechumens and fallen away Catholics.  He feels a strong call to give more of his time to the building of God's kingdom. 

A 40-yr-old man and his spouse of 18 years give freely of their spare time to help the pastor reach out to the young people of their parish.  He sees great need for committed people to get involved.  He feels called to provide more parish leadership. 

Who are these men, and what are they experiencing?  -- They may be men very much like you!  Men who love God, love their faith and feel called to serve in a more committed way.
