The wives of the newly-ordained deacons are thankful they were included in the diaconate formation program and happy with their supporting role.

Those contacted by the WCR say they felt joyful, not left out, during their husbands' July 4 ordination. The wives journeyed through four years of formation with their husbands but did not qualify for ordination.
