Hi, I am Deacon Bob

My wife Joanne and I have been married for over 58 years. We have three children and eight grandchildren.


I was ordained a Permanent Deacon in 2009 and have served in various ministries, including Bereavement, Mental Health, attending the sick, the homebound, and visiting those in Hospital.

As humans, created in the image and likeness of God, we are meant to endure all the ups and downs of life, to experience all that Christ endured for us.

Every valley, every hill is meant to provide us with an opportunity to recognize God’s presence in our life and to help us become the individuals God created us to be.

God’s Word, revealed through Sacred Scripture, help us to see our place, our role, in today’s society and culture, as faithful and intentional Disciples of Jesus.

My hope is that these reflections offer encouragement and a sense of companionship on your own journey.
