My name is Richard Kliemann. I am currently in formation to the permanent diaconate in the Archdiocese of Detroit. Fr Brad has graciously agreed to allow me to do my internship here at Holy Trinity under Deacon Dennis. My wife Carole and I live in Marysville and we are members of St. Christopher Parish in Marysville. We have been married for 39 years and have three adult children, Christopher, Matthew, and Stacie and a grandson Jaxson. I have worked for DTE Energy as a power plant operator at the St Clair Power Plant and have been there for the 21 years. I have been attending classes in the evenings at Sacred Heart Major Seminary since 2015 and have been in the formation process of the diaconate since 2017. During this intern year I will be shadowing Deacon Dennis learning some of the many things that he does around the altar and in the community. I am looking forward to being here at Holy Trinity, learning from a parish that is very active and who bring the love of Jesus Christ to their community. I hope to meet many of you soon and we look forward to being part of Holy Trinity as we get to know you and you all get to know us.
