Ministry of Service

Service

As a deacon, serving is not something you do, it is something you are. My service ministry focuses on family, the ministry I chose in the Ministry Formation program year ago.  For over 15 years I have been fortunate to teach religious education to children in 7th and 8th grade as well as prepare them for Confirmation.  I have prepared numerous parents and godparents for Baptism as well as couples preparing for marriage.  My ministry extended to sports, scouting, youth retreats and altar server training. 

I have been blessed in my professional life to be able to work with the homeless; something a deacon cannot always do.  While quite rewarding the agency I worked with had new leaders that did not always align with the mission and ministry and looked only to personal advancement that effectively ended my professional/ministry with the homeless.

I have been a retreat leader and speaker to a groups on many different topics.  These topics can be found by selecting the FIND OUT MORE button below.

My site was hacked

Sorry this site has been down for so long, but it was viciously hacked several months ago.  I wish folks would use their time more prudently.  The site is brand new as the old was use left inoperable.  I will be adding old homilies as I can and keeping up all security settings.  Thanks for understanding.
