Deacon Paul was ordained on October 1, 2022. Deacon Paul retired as the Fire Chief from Cal Fire here in Tulare County in 2016 after 30 years of service. Several years before, while serving the people of California as a fire fighter, God called him to serve as an adult altar server. He began serving at the altar, became a Eucharistic minister and a lector. Deacon Paul then had a calling from God to serve “His” people and started the diaconate formation. He has been married for over 35 years to his high school sweetheart, Debbie. They have 3 children, and 4 grandchildren. Deacon Paul enjoys sharing his professional and personal life experiences with others, helping others to develop a stronger relationship with God and serving on the altar.
