A Deacon’s Diary: A Deacon Going Home

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...
