THEOLOGY and a PUB
Deacons:
the men behind the men of the cloth. They are such a great blessing to many of
our parishes. They do so much both at Mass and behind the scenes. However, have
you ever wondered where deacons come from? Would you believe our first saint
and martyr was a deacon? Join us at Gresso's
on May 19th at 7:30p.m. as we learn about the history of
the deaconate and the formation process for deacons in our diocese today in "The
OtherGuy Up There: The Role of the Deacon." Our speaker is
Jeffery Fortkamp who has completed his formation as a Deacon and he will be
joined by special guests at various stages of their vocation. Gresso's is
located at 961 South High Street. Doors open at 6 p.m. and food and drink are
available for purchase before the talk. For more information, go to www.theologyandapub.org."
Loving God, we thank you for giving us Mom and for the
many ways she shows us your love. On this, her special day, we ask you to bless
her with your joy and peace. As she cares for all of us, help her to find
strength for the many challenges she faces. Help us to show our gratitude for
all she does, and especially for who she is. Amen.
