Deacon Tom O'Connor
My wife MaryAnn and I were Married in 1964 and I was Ordained a deacon in 1994.  We have 4 children and 8 grandchildren.   I have been serving the Parish of the Good Shepherd since June of 2004.  I also work as a civil engineer for a local company.  As a deacon, I have faculties from the Bishop to Baptize, perform wedding ceremonies, preside at wake services and preach.  All these I do with the support and approval of our Pastor.   My primary ministries are pastoral care of the sick and the RCIA process.  I coordinate the Eucharist Ministers who visit people in their homes with communion for those who can not make it to Mass, especially Sachem Adult home and Sachem Adult home.  I am also the staff contact person fo rthe RCIA process.  My wife and I are also advocates for the tribunal, assisting individuals with the annulment process.  Please contact us for information.  I consider it an honor and a privilege to server here at Good Shepherd.
