Congratulations to Steve Dos Santos, C.PP.S. who was today ordained to the order of Deacon at his home parish of St. Barnabas in Alameda. It was a fitting celebration of the Feast of St. Barnabas for the Parish family, for Steve's family and for the Precious Blood family who served the parish for 50 years. I had the pleasure of serving as Steve's Formation director.
Fr. Jeffrey Keyes, C.PPS. and Deacon Steve Dos Santos, C.PP.S.

Please pass on my congratulations to my friend Steven. I knew him when he was a nobody.

God bless Steve!
I forgot this was his ordination.
I was just thinking of him at Mass today, as I waited for the priest and deacon to stand (the signal at our parish to begin the musical intro to the Gospel Acclamation,) and I remembered at his "practice Mass" at St John's I waited for him, unaware that he was waiting for me to begin the intro before he stood. We hadn't discussed it ahead of time. (My bad...)
