It is a blessing from God that I have been called to ordination as a Permanent Deacon in the Archdioceses of Dubuque. I am married to my wife Cheryl, have two wonderful married adult children and six fantastic grandchildren with a new little addition of a great-grandchild to join the team soon. Currently I am a Deacon in the "Oelwein Pastorate' for the Archdiocese of Dubuque, working at Sacred Heart Parish in Oelwein, IA
I remain active in may new duties to begin the new Pastorate, in an effort to help the transition while we look to replace some open staff positions. I am happy to help the parish at any time when called upon. I look forward to many more years of serving with and for the people of God at Sacred Heart and in our new Pastorate.
