Deacon Ray Carattini
Deacon
Bio
I serve as a Deacon at St. John the Evangelist, and I am married to my lovely wife Lanette and have 3 great kids (Selina, Joshua, and Elijah) as well as a grandson (Erick). I am retired from the Lake County Sheriff's Department after 20 years, ending my career with the rank of Detective Sergeant.
Responsibilities
I serve as Deacon at SJE to the wonderful community, as well as being a part of That Man Is You (TMIY), a ministry directed towards men who seek a relationship with Jesus Christ.
What do you enjoy most about your ministry?
As a Deacon, I absolutely love being a part of the Liturgy, especially the Liturgy of the Eucharist. To me, there's no greater experience than to witness the power and mystery of the Eucharist at Mass.
How can people get involved in your area of ministry?
There are so many opportunities to be involved in any ministry throughout SJE. Being present is a great starting point!
