In this video, our old friend Mike Hayes asks Deacon Billy #FiveQuestions about life and ministry during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Paulist Deacon Affiliates are permanent deacons who, after sessions of formation, commit to exercising Paulist ministry in their own parishes or dioceses, or for an institution that concentrates on mission to “those beyond the Church,” on a year-to-year basis.

They make an annual promise to express this commitment. Their wives are invited to be part of the formation. Their bishops endorse this ministry in cooperation with the Paulists.

This video is part of our Five Questions video series.
