JOSEPH CATHOLIC PARISH IN FORT COLLINS, SAYS: THANK YOU DEACONS! WE LOVE YOU! DCN. WARREN LYBARGER DCN. JEROME KRAFT DCN. GREG REYNOLDS "Quite frankly, I am in awe of the deacons in the diocese, they are so ded- icated to their ministry, and each time I talk to one of them, I get inspired and filled with awe over some of the things they do," Deacon Donohoe said. "They all have these stories that are just tre- mendous, because they're all in prayer. They all want to listen, and they want to love God and the people of God." Not only are these men faithful to God's will and serving his people, their families are tremendous witnesses to the world as well. "Deacons in this diocese are tre- mendously dedicated to their minis- try and to their family and they set a very positive example to the secular world in witnessing the true presence of Jesus Christ and the Church to a world in need of [him], including their marriages," said Deacon Donohoe. "It's not just the deacons, it's their families. Their families give up much for their husbands and dads to be deacons, but they also do that for love of God." " I've done about 50 emergency baptisms and praying with families. It's been really rewarding, and I know that I have a special call to hospital ministry." DEACON HECKMAN Serving in the per- manent diaconate is a noble vocation. Men who are called to be deacons utilize their gifts for min- istry in dižerent ways, and serve for no other reason than love of God and the Church. PHOTO BY ANYA SEMENOFF
