Serra Boston congratulates Shawn Carey, who was ordained to the Deaconate last Saturday. Shawn will return to Boston in May to be ordained with the Boston seminarians, and may serve in Boston in the future.
The Promise of Obedience
Shawn and his fellow deacons
In July 2007, Shawn spoke to the Globe about experiencing the Eucharist as a deaf person:
“The deaf, we’re very visual people,” said the 34-year-old seminarian. “We depend on [vision] for learning; we can’t hear. Whenever I see the Blessed Sacrament at adoration, the Eucharist, I see Christ there. I use visual imagination [to see] how Christ suffered and died. There’s a picture inside my brain, like a movie. That’s my spirituality. That’s how I communicate with God.”
