Father Don is a graduate of Nashotah House Theological Seminary, and is the Vicar of St. Mark's Anglican Church in Silvis, Illinois.
"I've
felt called to the ministry since I was in my 20's, but I had no idea
how God would make it possible. In 2003, God opened the door for me to
enter the priesthood, and I became a postulant in the Anglican Church,"
he said. "In 2006, our family relocated to Wisconsin so I could attend
seminary."
"I was ordained to the priesthood in
2009, and feel blessed to serve the church in that capacity," Fr.
Sackett says. "The most exciting part of my calling is to see God
working in people's lives. Jesus Christ is miraculous. He is a powerful,
transforming force in the lives of those who believe in Him.
"I
greatly enjoy the relationships I share with the people of the parish
and with the community," he said. "I am blessed to be a part of their
lives -- the hard times and the good times, to be able to pray with
them, encourage them and to remind them that Christ is present with them
always."

- Walking Out Our Faith
Paulette is a Minnesota farm girl who went off to college and then just kept going. She graduated from Gustavus Adolphus College with a bachelor's degree in Public Relations and then worked in healthcare communications in Nebraska, Maryland, Wisconsin, North Dakota, Illinois, and currently in Iowa.
Still a farm girl at heart, she enjoys the outdoors as much as possible, tries to bake as well as her mother, and even dabbles in canning and preserves. She also hopes to build a chicken coop in her backyard, wishes she could raise her own beef, and wonders what it would be like to keep bees for the glory of God. Paulette is mother to four awesome children, wife to one passionate Anglican priest, and a grateful servant of the Lord Jesus Christ. Just like a good Minnesota hotdish, she mixes it all together into one very blessed life.
