My wife Barbara and I have been
members of St. Jude Parish since 1979.
Both of our children graduated from St. Jude School. Life can be considered a journey of faith for all of us, and my own faith journey happened to develop towards service as a deacon. While I was still in formation to become a deacon, I was able to retire fairly early from my first career. I think that being ordained a deacon at this stage in my life has provided me with special ways to serve in the Church as an ordained clergyman while giving me a good way to spend my retirement time. This may be a vocation for men in similar situations to consider for themselves. |
