Twenty-three men from the North American College in Rome have been ordained to the diaconate in Saint Peter's Basilica. During the celebration, they prostrated themselves in front of the altar and dedicated their lives in service to God's Church and His people. Ordination to the diaconate marks the last stage in seminary formation before ordination to the priesthood. Deacon Daniel Sessions from the Diocese of Birmingham, Alabama and Chairman of the Diaconate Planning Committee, joins to tell us more about the ordination and what it was like for him. Deacon Sessions shares more about what the diaconate means and what role it plays in the path to priesthood. Deacon Sessions discusses life at the NAC in Rome and what value there is in being so close to the Vatican. He explains what living in such a special place adds to his path.
