Serving the altar and the marketplace
Welcome to my deacon's ministry portal — a place to document, reflect on, teach, communicate with parishioners, and give thanks and praises to God for the ministries I am called to serve, both locally and abroad. As a dentist in Houston and a deacon at St. Maximilian Kolbe Catholic Church, I seek to serve the people through the faith, hope, and love in Our Lord, Jesus Christ— both at the altar and in the marketplace.

The work of diakonia
Following sacred tradition, the diaconate serves the diverse people of God through three distinct, active pillars of pastoral care.
The Holy Altar
Sacred Teaching
Pastoral Outreach
Assisting at the Eucharist, administering baptisms, and bringing the light of the Gospel to our parish families.
Proclaiming the Word, guiding faith formation, and preparing hearts for the sacraments of grace.
Bringing food, comfort, and direct material assistance to the marginalized across Galveston-Houston.
