Deacon
Terry Garner is a kid magnet. If you are looking for the young people
of the parish, no matter what their age, just look for Terry's ready
smile or listen for his infectious laugh, and you'll
find the kids.
When Deacon Terry was a young person himself, he first found Christ in
a parish youth group, in the eyes and hearts of the spirit-filled
adult leaders and kids. God gave Terry those same gifts, and began
calling him to that same ministry, even then.
Deacon Terry is a vocational deacon,
meaning that he has discerned a calling to the servant ministry
of the diaconate and is not pursuing the priesthood. He came to
Milwaukee from the Cincinnati area in 1977 for a job at Mt. Sinai
Hospital and moved into the former YMCA (now a Marquette University
dorm) right next door to St. James Church. One day he walked
east on the Avenue instead of west, found St. James and has never
left. To his joy, the people of St. James affirmed his call to the diaconate,
and raised him up to ordination on October 18, 1986.
Deacon Terry knows a lot about kind
and caring hearts, but he also knows a lot about...hearts. Terry's
secular vocation is in the field of diagnostic cardiology. As a field manager for a major pharmaceutical firm, he travels extensively, working with physicians and technologists as a lecturer
and educator.
Terry and his wife, Loraine, live in Mequon with their dog and two cats.

Emeritus Ned Howe was actively involved as a layman in all phases of parish life prior to his ordination 22 years ago. He brings a 10-year background in alcohol and drug abuse counseling and an unwavering commitment to serving and working with the homeless to his ministry at St. James'. On a typical morning Deacon Ned can be found dispensing food, coffee, comfort and wisdom to the guests (and sometimes the workers!) at The Gathering, a meal program headquartered in the lower level of the church.
