Deacon Steven will be serving in a specialized ministry serving college students.  Deacon Steven has also joined the CACINA Franciscan Community of Reconciliation as a novice.  We are happy to have Steven as part of the Diocese of Little Portion and our national church, CACINA.

Welcome Fr. Armando!  We are so glad God led you to CACINA!
