Parishioner of Our Lady of Mt Carmel Parish, Coorparoo, Paul Jensen, was ordained a permanent deacon on 25 November. Together with Conrado Medequiso, Paul was ordained in St Stephen’s Cathedral by Archbishop Mark Coleridge.
Besides being a parishioner, Paul is also director of mission and formation at Centacare and a pastoral director at Holy Spirit Seminary. He is married to his wife Karen and has three children and one grandchild.
Following 20 years of ordained ministry in the Uniting Church, Paul was received into the Catholic Church at Easter 2011.
At the end of the 2020, he said, he felt a “warm wash of the Holy Spirit” and a calling to consider the diaconate and was accepted.
