| Deacon Charlie says “Deacons are called to serve in a special way but I have always felt called to serve in many other ways – service to family, the Catholic Church, my country, and the community have all been part of my life’s work. I look forward to continuing to serve the priests and parishioners of Our Lady of the Valley.” |
