"You will find your place in the Church. Everyone has one. It may not seem obvious at first where that place is. But everyone has a place inside the Church," says Paulist Deacon Ben Chisholm in this episode of Deacons Pod.

Deacon Ben, a Paulist seminarian, is slated to be ordained a priest during a Mass on Saturday, May 17, 2025.

He is to be ordained alongside Paulist Deacon Chris Malano, who was our guest on last week's episode of Deacons Pod.

This episode was recorded on Friday morning, May 9, 2025, the day after the election of Pope Leo XIV, and includes reactions to the historic news.
