Eight men commence ministry for the Church
Story and photos by Ambria Hammel | Nov. 15, 2010 | The Catholic Sun
A baptism at St. Gabriel the Archangel Parish in Cave Creek last week marked a double cause for celebration for one man in particular.
The waters of baptism signaled the first step of a lifelong journey in faith for the 2-month-old boy and the first time the celebrant — the infant’s grandfather — administered the sacrament as a permanent deacon for the Church.
One day prior, Deacon Robert Torigian was among eight men, all married with children, whom Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted ordained to the diaconate Nov. 6 at Ss. Simon and Jude Cathedral. They join 239 permanent deacons serving the Phoenix Diocese from the altar, within parish ministries and in the greater community.
“I know that each of them has what it takes to be an effective, caring deacon and a powerful witness of Jesus, the Servant of all,” said Deacon Doug Bogart, associate director of education and formation for the diaconate.
He described them as smart and creative. The new deacons, ages 42-60, have a strong commitment to service, particularly to the bishop, their parishes and to the poor, Deacon Bogart added.
Bishop Olmsted told a crowded cathedral filled with extended family, friends, priests and fellow deacons that deacons represent the charity of the Church. Therefore, he said, they will see the new deacons as disciples seeking “not to be served, but to serve.”
Then he spoke directly to his eight newest “sons.”
“You receive sacred authority to teach in the name of the Church. Such teachings are badly needed,” the bishop said. He cautioned them to resist the temptation to omit any teaching that may not be popular.
“Hand it on faithfully in its organic wholeness,” the bishop said.
One by one all eight deacon candidates knelt in front of the bishop, placed their hands in his and promised their fidelity.
Then the entire church offered a litany of supplication while the candidates fully prostrated themselves down the cathedral’s center aisle. It marked their act of submission.
When they got up, the new deacons spread themselves along the foot of the altar where priests vested them for the first time. Jesuit Father Dave Klein vested his brother Deacon Tom Klein, who will be the only deacon serving St. Francis Xavier Parish.
Deacon Klein also cited his other brother, a St. Thomas the Apostle parishioner and longtime Vincentian, as influential in his discernment.
“It’s been a lifetime evolution for me. There was no lightning bolt moment,” Deacon Klein said in his final hour before ordination.
Deacon Klein, who also works as a trial lawyer, will head the parish’s busy marriage preparation program. He hopes to encourage parishioners of all ages to become more active in the Church.
Once vested, the deacons knelt a final time in front of Bishop Olmsted as he symbolically handed each of them the Book of the Gospels.
“Now you are not only hearers of the Gospels, but also its ministers,” the bishop said.
The deacons finished their ordination Mass from the altar and helped distribute the Eucharist.
Hope for the future
“We, today, witnessed the living faith being handed on from generation to generation so that the Church of Christ will never be without the sacraments of the three holy orders of the Church,” Bishop Eduardo A. Nevares said during a brief program at a post-ordination reception.
Providing for the future of the Church, especially by administering the sacrament of baptism, is what several new deacons looked forward to in their first weeks of ordained ministry. One had eight baptisms lined up during his first week.
“That is the joy and source of hope,” said Deacon David Runyan, a retired meteorologist who will serve St. Andrew the Apostle Parish in Chandler and El Cristo Rey Parish at the Grand Canyon in the summertime.
Deacon Torigian, who baptized his grandson, plans to remind older Catholics of their baptismal obligation to come to know and serve the Lord, he said.
The new deacon and longtime physician assistant should know a thing or two about service. He devoted so much time to pastoral ministry in his native Detroit that several deacons invited him to consider joining the diaconate. He finished formation in Phoenix.
Outside of parish work at St. Gabriel, Deacon Torigian will also help the diocesan Office of Natural Family Planning develop curriculum for Catholic high school students.
Deacon Jim Gall, who for a while didn’t know what a deacon was but always liked to serve others, also looks forward to living the deacon motto of servant leadership.
He gained a deeper prayer life during the formation process. It’s helped him see things with spiritual eyes instead of reacting based on temperament, he said.
“I could never go back to the way I was,” Deacon Gall said.
Most new deacons said they gained a deeper spirituality and strengthened their marriage and family relationships during formation.
“I just thank God that I finally said yes,” said Deacon Al Homiski, a parish administrator at St. Bernadette in Scottsdale. He admitted putting off repeated invitations to join the diaconate for years.
The five-year formation process in Phoenix involves two years of weekly Kino classes, monthly diaconate meetings with candidates and their wives, practicums including at St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center, and twice daily prayer. The experience is enough to impact the entire family.
Deacon Ron Johnson saw a noticeable change in the spiritual lives of his three children as well during formation. The psychologist first felt called to the diaconate during a Cursillo weekend seven years ago and is looking forward to being the first Spanish-speaking deacon in the Flagstaff area.
He’ll also travel with Fr. Pat Mowrer throughout the north deanery supporting other parishes and missions.
Deacon Jason Robinson said he was always attracted to serving the Church. He applied to the priesthood after high school and entered further discernment.
He soon met his wife through a singles ministry and continued to search for his niche in the Church.
“I had this passion for the Church kind of from the inside, yet I was a working man,” the software developer said, “so I was always a bridge.”
He thought about entering the diaconate later in life. A personal invitation to the diaconate expedited his formation and ordination.
His ministry will include prison and Native American outreach plus parish work.
“Thank you for responding to God,” Deacon Jim Trant, director of the diaconate told the diocese’s newest deacons, “for doing and acting upon His will.”

One of our cats peed on the carpet and we didn't realize it for quite a while. No amount of cleaning would help so we ripped it out. Ah well... the study needed a re-org anyway, and that carpet is 14 years old...
I was at the Washington Nationals game when 3 of these flew over. It happened so fast I only had time to take this one shot (I shoot in manual, and it took me too long to adjust the shutter and aperture). I'm not sure if it's always called Marine One, or if any of them were even called that or if that only applies when the President is one board. Either way, I thought it was pretty cool

Hi! My name is Winnie One-Ear, but my friends just call me Winnie. I am about 1 year old and I am the most amazing, goofy, fun-loving kitty in the whole world. I am looking for a loving home with other kitties who I can play with and look to for guidance to help me build up my confidence. I am very shy with strangers, which is why I need other kitties in my home to help me learn and get comfortable with my new humans. But once I get to know you, I become your personal snuggle-bug and constant companion. I enjoy sleeping in your bed, nibbling on your toes though the blanket and snuggling up by your side. I also enjoy lots of toys and playtime. I enjoy being thoroughly entertaining with squeaky toys as I run through the house at top speeds carrying my toys with me. Overall, I am a perfect princess who makes silly faces, loves cuddles and can’t wait to have a forever home. Oh yeah, the ear thing. We don't know what happened to it. When I was rescued, my right ear was already missing, but it doesn't bother me one bit. It just adds to my character and unique personality. So, prepare to fall in love! Adoption fee: $60. Adopt a pair: $90. Fee includes testing, deworming, vaccinations, spay/neuter, microchip and 60 days of free pet insurance. Apply online at www.pawsforliferescue.org

This photo is dedicated to Nemesis, one of my favorite bands from Bangladesh.
I was coming back from a concert and this car just happened to be in front of us. Since I was not driving that night, I was able to take the shot. One of my personal favorites.

One of the first few shots taken with my newly acquired D700.
I've never expected I would go full frame, but with the clarity and deep color saturation of the D700, it instantly drew me in closer and closer to get one. I still have my D90 and I will use that more often for walk-around. I'm intending to use my D700 for paid shoots later on (and maybe sneak it out from time to time to take casual shots I would do with the D90).
Bought this in store today. It looks quite different than the one I have.
Shot with Canon 6D with 100mm f2.8L IS with natural light.

you might wonder why i'm not asleep [though probably not]. it's cause i'm a genius. when i went to buy gas i realized i left my wallet at work. [i'm a genius]. so i had to go to the bank and get more money, and blah blah blah. here i am. i should mention this is now the second critical thing i'm without. the first thing i lost would be the cell. though i was less torn up about that.

She passed away peacefully yesterday, less than 24 hours since I picked her last garden bouquet. I sat looking at the cardinal vines after I heard the news, and noticed this one red flower. This wonderful red-wearing, bright flowers-loving lady will sure be missed.
