In his role at Holy Trinity Parish, Deacon Stuart Holland says he "work(s) with an extraordinary group of people who live to share Christ with others and who strive to prepare liturgies so that the assembly may be transformed to go make disciples."
Deacon Stuart has been serving in this role since 1991 and has been a member of Holy Trinity Parish since 1983. Married to his wife Marsha, they have 4 children and 4 grandchildren.
Deacon Stuart grew up in Shawnee & Merriam, attended St. Joseph Grade School and Rockhurst High School. He attended several colleges and eventually received his degree in Pastoral Ministry from St. Mary University in Leavenworth.
Deacon Stuart spent the first half of his adult working life in the heavy construction industry as an estimator and in construction management for his family's company. After five years of study and formation, he was ordained a permanent deacon for the Archdiocese of Kansas City, Kansas on April 9, 2011.
Deacon Stuart was a prominent contributor to the parish's faith life long before his calling to the deaconate. He is a committed Christian and evangelist and we are fortunate to have his guidance and support here at Holy Trinity. He and his wife Marsha enjoy golfing together and travel.
