A Deacon’s Diary: What Does a Deacon Do?

A Deacon’s Diary: What Does a Deacon Do?

by Damian Torres-Botello, SJ | May 4, 2023 | A Deacon's Diary, Religious Life    ~ Approx. 6 mins

As a kid, I never really understood what was going on in the mass. Fr. So-and-So (his name I cannot remember) would begin the Wednesday student mass at Visitation Catholic Church in Kansas City, Missouri, with a hearty roar, “What day of the week is it?!” All of us...

by Damian Torres-Botello, SJ | Mar 9, 2023 | A Deacon's Diary, The Jesuits    ~ Approx. 3 mins

I’m stepping onto the aisle of the chapel, standing next to one of my best friends, Fr. Eric. Only a handful of months ago he was just Eric. This aisle in the chapel is the chapel at the Novitiate of St. Alberto Hurtado in St. Paul, Minnesota. It’s the same chapel...

A Deacon’s Diary: My Name is Damian…and I Finally Have Health Insurance!

by Damian Torres-Botello, SJ | Oct 6, 2022 | A Deacon's Diary, Religious Life, The Jesuits    ~ Approx. 3 mins

This is the first installment of A Deacon’s Diary from our new deacon. For our former deacon, check out his goodbye article. “I don’t need health insurance.” That’s a phrase I said to myself once, quite unconvincingly. I had a job at a child development center and it...
