Deacon Al Evans

Was born in 1949 to Helen and Hubert Evans, in Woodstock Illinois. Educated in Catholic schools and graduated Kishwaukee College in mechanical engineering. Vietnam Era Navy veteran, serving as aircrew on the Lockheed P-3 Orion patrol aircraft making several deployments to West Pac. Married to Jackie in 1985. Has a son Matt (40). Two grandchildren Haley (14) and Colby (12). Hobby is reading. Favorite food is steak. Favorite Bible verse: Let us bless the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Let us praise and exalt him above all forever. Blessed are you, Lord, in the firmament of heaven. Praiseworthy and glorious and exalted above all forever.” Daniel 3:56. Al felt that God was asking for more than he was giving. That idea ebbed and flowed for two decades. It led to increased involvement in parish life and by God’s grace, and many prayers he was ordained as a Deacon in 2002. His parents watched from above, no longer here to see the day.
