Hello everyone. I’m Deacon Dennis.
And I just wanted to let you know that, over
the summer, Fr. Resti who oversees St. Joseph’s Parish in Vacaville asked me if
I could help him at his parish. So I
volunteered to be on temporary “on loan” duty at St. Joseph’s.
I say that I
say that I am “on loan” but I will actually be “a-lone” since there is no
deacon at this parish that is slightly smaller than ours. (They have no deacon in a parish of about
2,000 families, so I hope to eventually recruit new deacons for the parish.)
St.
Catherine’s will still be my parish, and my wife, Tove Ann, and I still plan to
attend Mass at St. Catherine’s with our kids whenever I’m not on deacon duty at
St. Joseph’s.
[This
reminds me of a joke about two parishioners at St. Catherine’s. One attended the Sat. 5pm Mass, and the other
attended the Sunday 12pm Mass. One day,
they happen to meet at a parish festival.
The first parishioner said to the other parishioner, “Hey, do you still
go to St. Catherine’s?” The second
parishioner replied, “Yeah, I still go to St. Catherine’s. Do you still go to St. Catherine’s?]
So I’m not
leaving St Catherine’s. I’m just going
to help St. Joseph’s.
I give you
all a big group hug (from my deacon’s bench here). And I love you all.
