"We have used this work for years in helping in the understanding of the role of the deacon in the Church. This revision shows the ever-evolving work of deacons in their role as missionary disciples. This volume will be a valuable tool in responding to the many questions people have, both those discerning the diaconal vocation and those served by the ordained deacon."
—Deacon Dennis Dorner, chancellor and director of permanent diaconate, Archdiocese of Atlanta

"In this second edition, Deacon Bill continues with his easy-to-follow process and his laymen's terms to help anyone better understand the ministry of the diaconate. We give this book to those who attend deacon information nights in our diocese; it has been well received and answers many questions people actually forget to ask. 101 Questions & Answers on Deacons is an invaluable tool for deacon directors and directors of formation."
—Deacon Jim Grevenites, Diocese of St. Petersburg

"Almost sixty years ago, Pope Saint Paul VI promulgated his affirmative response to the request of the Second Vatican Council to restore a renewed diaconate. Yet, even now, many of the faithful, priests as well as laity, and even deacons, have questions about the diaconate. All of this makes Deacon Ditewig's updated edition of 101 Questions & Answers on Deacons more valuable than ever. This book remains a great resource for diaconal inquiry, formation, life, and ministry, as well as for anyone wanting to learn about the diaconate."
—Deacon Scott S. Dodge, DMin, director, Office of the Diaconate, Diocese of Salt Lake City
