The Deacon's Mic: When a Deacon's Daughter Dies by Suicide
by Deacon Greg Kanda, The Deacon's Bench | 01/06/2021 | ACMHM NewsFor this new edition of The Deacon’s Mic, I’m honored to talk with Deacon Ed Shoener, from the Diocese of Scranton. Ed created a new and vital ministry five years ago, when he wrote candidly — and movingly — about the suicide of his 29-year-old daughter.
