Margaret and I were blessed yesterday evening by my brother deacons and their wives from St. Francis by the Sea with a dinner out and great company. It has been a true pleasure working with these dedicated and wonderful people. Only one deacon was unable to attend. (He was actually out doing ministry by preparing for another "Christ Renews His Parish Retreat.") We are glad his wife joined us even if he could not.
While Margaret and I have only been here for a year, the folks in this picture have become like family. There is a definite bond among the diaconate community wherever you go. I am grateful for the kindness and generosity they have extended to us during our time here. Our lives have been enriched because each of them have become part of it.
The people in this photo do a lot of work for the Church. Much of it goes unseen and unnoticed by the majority of parishioners, and yet, they continue to give of themselves without hesitation. To my brother deacons and your wives, may God richly bless you in your ministry for many more years to come!
