Welcome to the CatholicDeacon.net Bulletin Board

It seems to be the experience of many deacons that in trying to juggle the duties of family, work, and ministry that not much time is left to fraternize with their deacon brothers. This area has been created in cyberspace for just that purpose until those times when they can gather together in person. It is a place to share what has been happening in their lives as well as the joys, frustrations, and questions of diaconal ministry. If you are not a deacon, please respect this. Deacons who have registered as members of this BB are encouraged to post or view messages in ANY forum. All members are invited to share their thoughts and ideas.
