With praise and thanksgiving to Almighty God, The Archdiocese of Denver joyfully announces a new deacon from our own parish, St. Joseph in Golden:

Rev. Mr. Patrick John Smith

Deacon Smith was ordained to the Sacred Order of the Diaconate through the laying on of hands and the invocation of the Holy Spirit by His Excellency, The Most Reverend Samuel J. Aquila, S.T.L. Archbishop of Denver, on Saturday July 26, 2021 at 10 A.M. at Light of the World Catholic Church.

Deacon Smith, the clergy, staff and parishioners of St. Joseph joyfully congratulate you and pray for your ministry.  We are so blessed by you, deacon Smith!
