Deacon Jeff Willard joined the CtR staff in August 2016. Deacon Jeff was previously with St. Joseph Church in Norman, OKla., in the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City, where he has served in a variety of roles since 1997. He was ordained to the permanent diaconate in 1999, and has extensive background in pastoral counseling (he's a licensed counselor). He filled a number of roles for St. Joseph over the years including Parish Administrator, but looks forward to focusing on liturgy with us at CtR.
He and his wife have wanted to relocate to the Texas Gulf Coast for some time and both think Houston will be a great fit.
