St. John of the Cross Parish

We welcome Deacon Tom Shetina to the SJC & SRW parish families.  Deacon Tom was ordained by Bishop Perez on May 4 at the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist.  Bishop Perez has assigned him to serve as a Deacon at both parishes.  He and his wife, Lee, live in Mentor and attended St. John Vianney Parish.  Deacon Tom is very excited to be serving both parishes.  In the coming weeks we will determine what areas of parish life he will be involved in and have formal opportunities to meet him.  Please keep him in your prayers as he begins his ministry with us.
