DIAKONIA: A CALL TO SERVICE -- Love, Devotion and Service

Catholic Chicago

On the August 4, 2022 co-hosts Deacon Jim Norman and Deacon Dave Brencic welcome Deacon James Maslanka and his wife, Jonalee Maslanka.  Deacon James and Jonalee received the 2022 Diaconate Shared Ministry Award.   During the broadcast, the couple share how they used devotions to bring parishioners of Ss. Peter & Paul Parish back to the church at the height of the pandemic.  They give advice on how others could use devotions to unite and inspire a parish community.  They explain how devotions brought the parish closer together and how they hope devotions will create a foundation for the new united parish of Holy Name of Mary, St. John de laSalle, and Ss. Peter & Paul on the Far Southside of Chicago.  If anyone has questions or is interested in learning more about how to begin renewing/initiating devotions at their parish you can contact Deacon James and Jonalee Maslanka by email:  ourladysbluearmy@gmail.com
