MICHAEL SIMMONS
Deacon
I was a third year candidate in the diaconate formation program of the Santa Rosa diocese in 1993 when I started a prayer group in American Canyon. That prayer group grew into the faith community we know today as Holy Family Parish. I was ordained as a permanent deacon in 1995 and has served the parish and community tirelessly ever since.
I was born in Oakland grew up in San Francisco. Attended high school in South San Francisco and graduated from Washington High School in Fremont, California. I served with the United Staes Navy in the Submarine Service for eight years. I have been married for 49 years to Ann, together we have four children, two grandchildren and one great grandchild. I am retired from the Mare Island Naval Shipyard in 1994 and also served as a volunteer firefighter for the City of American Canyon for 23 years. I served with the St. Vincent DePaul society for eight years and also served on the St. Vincent DePaul Council , Napa Council as President.
I was the first deacon to serve Holy Family and will always be one of the “rocks” on which the parish is built upon.
