Atage89,Romolohasmanagedtokeepupwithtwojobs.His parishofserviceisSt.JosephCatholicParishinDexter, wherehehasworkedsincehewasordainedaDiocesan Deacon30yearsago(Oct.3,1992).

ForDeaconRomolo,faithisprettysimple.“Idon’thaveto understandeverything,”hesays,“Ijusthavetotrustthat God’sgotus,andheisn’tdroppingus.”

“Thisworkisaboutspeakingwhat’sinmyheart,”hesays.“I sharemystories–that’sallIgot.”

That’seasytodo,hesays,becauseGodhasalwaysbeenso goodtohimandhiswife,Lorraine,whowillcelebrate60years ofmarriageinFebruary.His“story”isaboutrealizingthatGod hadsomethingdifferentinmindforhismarriage,forhiswork, andforhislifelonghappiness.

“Iwasascore-cardCatholic,”hesays.“IknewaboutGod,but itwasaGodwhowasoutthere,withahammer.”

RaisedbyhisItalian-Americanparentsintheoften-roughcity streets,heattendedNortheastCatholicHighSchool,servedin theU.S.AirForceduringtheKoreanWar,thenbecamea Philadelphiapoliceofficer,evenexperiencingabulletflying toocloseoverhisheadoneday.HebegantonoticethatGod answeredhisprayerswhileheworked.Thenheattendeda

“Cursillo”retreatandthat’swhenhereally“mettheLord,” hesaid.

“Therewassomethingaboutthatcall.Ibegantogetoutof beingalegalisticCatholic,andIbecameaCatholicwho looksatthelawandspirit–whoasks,what’sthespiritof thelaw?Basically,ourfaithisthis:Godlovesusandwe loveGod.Wescrewupandthat’sokaybecausewe’re gonnabewithGod.Caseclosed.It’snotascore-card game.”

Inspiredbyhiswife’sdeepfaith,hebegantogrowmore involvedinsharingaboutGod’sgreatlove.Whenheheard abouttheWordofGodcommunityhereinAnnArbor,heleft hisjobwiththepoliceforcein1973andmovedwithhis familytobepartofit.
