Another new chapter in life began this week as I took on the duties of Operations Director for the Guadalupe Community Center. It is exciting, but I have a lot to learn. Thankfully, I am surrounded by experienced personnel who are willing to help me learn the ropes. I am truly grateful for each of them.
I made my first visit to the St. John Paul II Center for the New Evangelization to begin the process of getting faculties to function in the Archdiocese of Denver as a deacon. I had a nice visit with the deacon director and look forward to completing the process over the next couple of months.
It was a full week and I am very appreciative of the three day weekend to get a little rest. The photo for my ID card will reflect a tired individual. I should have had the picture taken at the beginning of the week instead of at the end.
I am living out my diaconal calling in a very tangible way through my new role. The deacon is expected to be a servant to the poor and marginalized members of our society. The mission statement of Catholic Charities for the Archdiocese of Denver sums it up quite well:
"As the charitable arm of the Archdiocese of Denver, and inspired by God’s love and compassion, Catholic Charities extends the healing ministry of Jesus Christ to the poor and those in need."
Pray that I serve the Lord well in my new role. Please know that the readers of this blog page always remain a part of my prayers.
Finally, I remember my parents in a special way today. This would have been their 78th wedding anniversary.
