Conrad J. Donarski
Born and raised in N.W. Minnesota. At age 18 ran away from the cold and snow to join the Marine Corps and enjoy the sun of Sothern California. At least that's what the recruiter said.

Thirty years later, C. J. retired from the active ranks of the Marine Corps as a Master Gunnery Sergeant and returned to civilian life as a pre-need sales rep for Eternal Hills Cemetery and Mortuary in Oceanside, CA.

God had other plans, because seven months later C. J. was working aboard Camp Pendleton as the Exceptional Family Member Coordinator. At the same time, he was going to school to be ordained as a deacon in the Catholic church; and five years later, he was ordained and served aboard Camp Pendleton Marine Base as well as St. Mary Star of the Sea Parish in Oceanside.

As it says in the Book of Ecclesiastes, "There is a time and a season for everything under the sun". Lady Alice, C. J's wife retired from her government service job and said that she did not want to fly six different directions to visit their six children and 11 grandchildren. In May of 2017 the arrived in Spring Hill, TN.

During his time aboard Camp Pendleton, C. J. also earned his certification as a Board-Certified Chaplain for the Veteran's Administration. He is one of the chaplains at the York Campus Murfreesboro, TN. When he is not on the ward and in his office, his door is open, and the K-cup machine is waiting its next command to brew a cup for a visitor.

Although he and Lady Alice live in Spring Hill, by God's design, C. J. is one of three deacons at St. Henry Catholic Parish on the West End - Nashville.
