Wonderful News!
No, we’re not expecting… At least not at the moment.
Brian has been accepted into formal discernment for the Diaconate. I believe this is the portion of the program where they attempt to fighten you out of the Diaconate. 
If we survive this portion, we’re on to formation. The course offerings sound positively scrumptious - Church history, Canon Law, Homeletics (I know, this doesn’t seem to apply to me… But I tell you it will come in handy with teaching the children).
And if we survive those four years, Brian will be ordained, I will receive my Master Catechist certification and we may be awarded college credits into the bargain. I was not able to attend college as a young person. This is a wonderful opportunity for me. And what’s even better is that the Diocese of Worcester gives this education as a gift to candidates’ wives. It won’t cost us a thing.
We would deeply appreciate your prayers as we move through the process and I’ll surely update you here. Brian will also blog his own perspective, I’m sure.
