Welcome to my blog!
Deacon Dan Donnelly
The purpose of this blog is to share my thoughts, observations, and reflections on various topics affecting our human experience. Through these blog posts, I hope to help spread the Word of God and to “walk” with others on their spiritual journey.
I try to post entries on a regular basis – as the Spirit moves me. I encourage you to sign up to receive free e-mail notices whenever a new entry is posted
Please note that this is a personal blog and is in no way associated with my parish, my employer, the Office of the Permanent Diaconate, or the Archdiocese of St. Louis. The Archdiocese of St. Louis allows me the privilege of sharing my personal self in a public forum, but also reminds me of my responsibilities as an ordained permanent deacon, a public figure representing the Church. If you find any of my posts to be offensive or potentially in conflict with Church teaching, please let me know. You may reach me at: dan@deacondan.com
I am proud of our Roman Catholic faith, so most of my blog posts will reflect that rich, Christian tradition. I hope that you notice a series of progressions in my writings as I continue to answer God’s call to follow him. As I try to grow in holiness, I trust that my blog entries will reflect God’s work in my life.
Thank you for visiting my blog. I hope you stop by often!
God bless,
Deacon Dan Donnelly
St. Louis, Missouri
