Deacon Rick Hocking was born and raised in Neenah, Wisconsin. He began working at Most Blessed Sacrament in March 2016.
Favorite Feast Day or church celebration: Easter Vigil because it is the high point of the Church year.
Favorite saint and why: The Blessed Virgin Mary because she always said "yes" to God, she our intercessor with God, she is my role model and I have had a devotion to the rosary for many years.
Favorite quotation: "Let the Eucharist transform you."
Favorite book/author: Any book that helps me grow in my Catholic faith.
Type of music you enjoy: We have a four-disc set of violin instrumentals that are almost always on our home stereo system. Besides that, I like a variety of soothing music; the exact style isn't important. Favorite thing about working at MBS: Interacting with people in the parish and helping people grow in their faith.
