Dcn. Kruger celebrated his 50th anniversary as a permanent deacon of the Catholic Church with a service and celebration on December 3rd at the apartments he and his wife live and serve in, and with an additional Mass and celebration at his home parish at Santa Catalina on December 10th. Nowadays, Dcn. Kruger can be found serving in his role as a deacon at his senior apartment complex co-celebrating communion services for residents on Tuesdays.“In 1976, I resigned from my job at the company where I worked as a Union Business President, and I went to work for the Lord” says Dcn. Kruger, “I have been working for the Lord for 50 years, and I will continue to do what the Lord lets me do. The journey has been good.”
