Holy Rosary Church – Stuttgart issued the following announcement on June 16.
Deacon Garry Boccarossa was born and raised at St. Joseph Church in Pine Bluff. After he was ordained a deacon June 11 with 25 other men at Christ the King Church in Little Rock, he returned to his parish six hours later to assist during Mass and deliver his first homily.
“I’m excited,” he said. “I have been a sacristan for 10 or 12 years, but this is the first time as a deacon. I’ve been practicing homilies all year. This will be the first official one. … I’m excited and ready to get it done.”
Noting his first homily would focus on the trinity for Trinity Sunday, he joked, “Yeah, the easy one.”
Boccarossa said he had been thinking about the day for 15 years.
