Deacon Jim was assigned to Immac- ulate Conception Parish in Lafayette. James Perry Wolfe was born on Decem- ber 4, 1940, in Colorado Springs. As a young man, his family lived in various cities around Colorado, starting in Lead- ville, and eventually Ft. Collins, where he found a path to the Naval Academy. Realizing the military wasn't what he wanted to do, Wolfe left the Academy and went to the Colorado School of Mines and then to Colorado State University where he received a degree in account- ing. He spent several years with Arthur Young prior to creating his own account- ing firm that he ran for over 20 years. On August 31, 1963, Wolfe married his wife, Judy Sperl at All Souls Catholic Parish in Englewood. Growing up Episcopalian, Jim had married a Roman Catholic and became serious about the Catholic faith. Then in 1975, he entered the Church with Judy as his sponsor. He and Judy became very involved in Marriage Encounter and served on the parish council at Sacred Heart of Mary Parish in Boulder. In 1999, Wolfe entered the Diaconate Formation Program. On June 12, 2004, he was ordained a deacon by Arch- bishop Charles Chaput. His first assign- ment was at Immaculate Conception Parish, where he remained as an active deacon until his death. At Immaculate Conception and Sacred Heart of Mary in Boulder, Deacon Wolfe led a Respect Life organization and initiated a food bank for those in need. "Deacon Jim put his heart and soul into his ministry with humility and grace," said Deacon Joseph Donohoe, Director of Deacon Personnel."Re- flecting a diaconal spirit, he was on the front lines defending life and making sure those in need were being helped. We are indebted to the hard work he accomplished." PHOTO BY DANIEL PETTY
