With joyful hearts, we celebrate newly ordained transitional Deacon Jack Morris as he reflects on his journey of faith, his call to serve the Church, and the final steps toward the priesthood.

His witness is a beautiful reminder of the power of saying “yes” to God’s call and trusting in where the Lord leads. Please continue to pray for Deacon Michael and all our transitional deacons as they continue their journey toward the priesthood and faithful service to the Church.

Lord, You make all things new
You bring hope alive in our hearts
And cause our Spirits to be born again
Thank you for this new year
For all the potential it holds.
Come and kindle in us
A mighty flame
So that in our time, many will see the wonders of God
And live forever to praise Your glorious name.
