I've applied to become a postulant in the Diocese of Toronto. That's right, I mailed it off last Friday.
Postulancy is an application process one goes through, in preparation for ordination. The process can take the better part of 2 years, to complete. That means, if I'm completely successful, I will be ordained to the diaconate (as a deacon) in the spring of 2008.
I say, with trepidation, because Toronto has the reputation for being one of the hardest places to get into. If I don't get into Toronto, I can always apply elsewhere, but there are family connections here in the city, and it would be nice to stay relatively close - especially with children.
So, for those of you with a prayerful bent, I would appreciate your support in this process. For those of you who've agreed to stand as references ... I really do thank you.
Watch this space for further info.
