Deacon Larry Walker

I was ordained to the Permanent Diaconate in 2001 and subsequently assigned as deacon at Saint Bridget of Sweden Parish in Lindstrom, Minnesota for the following five years.

I am now currently assigned at Sacred Heart Parish in Rush City. A few of my responsibilities are: Baptism and Marriage preparation, Deacon at Mass and preaching, Conferring Baptisms and witnessing Marriages. I am also a field advocate, along with my wife Marilynn, for the Marriage Tribunal. We are marriage preparation counselors using the Life Innovations Prepare Program and are currently studying to become “Seminar Directors” within that same program. Currently at Sacred Heart, we are working with the Adult Faith Formation (bible study, parent faith formation, etc…).

Marilynn and I have been married for forty years and have one son, William. He is a research scientist and is currently studying to become a high school teacher in the sciences. He lives on the West Coast.
