Parishioner takes next step toward permanant diaconate

Bill Theis has been instituted into the Ministry of the Acolyte, another step on his journey toward becoming a permanent deacon. From Bishop Foys:
“Our faith must produce trust in the Lord … a trust (that) calls us to surrender to the Lord’s will. These (candidates) have answered by surrendering their lives to the Lord,” Bishop Foys said. “We thank God. We thank them for answering the call. We thank their families for their sacrifice. We ask the Lord to bless them and sustain their vocation.”
Amen to that! Let's all keep Bill and his family in our prayers. The full article with picture can be found in The Messenger HERE.
