Welcome!

I am a Catholic Deacon at Our Lady of the Assumption Parish, in the Diocese of Stockton. I offer retreats, lectures, missions, and other faith development opportunities to both youth and adults. After four years of honorable service in the Marine Corps I earned my Bachelor's in Speech Communication from Humboldt State University and my Masters In Theology Study (M.T.S.) from the Franciscan School of Theology, at Berkeley. I am an assistant principal in Turlock, and live in Denair with my wife, Jill, and sons, Mark and Luke. You can reach me on my website at www.thecatholicdeacon.com or by E-mail at thecatholicdeacon7@gmail.com View all posts by Deacon Stephen Valgos
