Where were you on May 19, 2007?

This is where I was: face down, on the floor of a basilica in Brooklyn. It was one year ago that I was ordained to the order of deacon.


Congratulations and blessings to all my brother deacons. Ad Multos Annos!

I still can’t believe the wonders and graces and miracles of this past year. And the journey is just beginning…


And a special shout-out to Deacon Jim Hynes — whose journey has taken him from us. We miss you, Jim.
