# Catholic Moments #103 - A Conversation with the Deacons

May 27, 2009 3:28:01 PM  |  by [CM Hangout](https://www.catholicmom.com/articles/author/cmpodcast)

[![](https://www.catholicmom.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/cm1031.jpg?width=265&height=181&name=cm1031.jpg "cm1031")](https://www.catholicmom.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/cm1031.jpg)This week, we take a focused look at the Permanent Diaconate in an extended conversation with [Deacon Tom Fox](http://www.deacontomonline.com) and [Deacon Chuck Stevens](http://www.smalltalentmusic.com/HarvestofLove.html).  Both men share their vocation stories, their Deacon formation experiences and resources they recommend to men exploring the Permanent Diaconate. I'm happy to share selections from Deacon Chuck's newest CD Harvest of Love during this episode.
