Deacon David Ritter: I am a permanent deacon in Diocese of Joliet (Illinois) at St. John the Baptist, Winfield for 5 years and formerly at St. Dominic Parish in Bolingbrook Illinois for 9 years. I was born and grew up a fallen away Methodist, or as I like to call it ‘ a suburban secularist’. I converted to Holy Mother Church in 1993 and was ordained a Deacon August, 2007.
