Deacon Gary and his wife Jacqui have been parishioners since the 1970’s. Over the years Deacon Gary has served in many roles at St. John the Baptist and other parishes and dioceses as well. In 2015 Deacon Gary “retired” from active ministry as a deacon, and came back to St. John the Baptist to volunteer as a retired deacon. In his free time, Deacon Gary enjoys writing novels, spending time with his family, and being involved with the Knights of Columbus.
