The Wausau Daily Herald honors Roger Deffner from Our Savior National Catholic Church in Mosinee, Wisconsin in its People of Faith column.

Church: Our Savior National Catholic Church, Mosinee

Ministry: Coordinates many of the activities offered at Our Savior

Motivation: “I help wherever they need help,” Deffner said. “I use my kitchen skills whenever and wherever I can for my church. I try to get young people involved at the start of each festivity. We bring our ideas to the table, and then decide how things should get done. I’m an active doer and enjoy helping others. I like helping people — in my law business and in my religion. To help people — that’s what the Bible is all about.”

Deffner, the Rev. Marion Talaga and a team of other volunteers will prepare a pancake feed with traditional Polish potato pancakes using Talaga’s recipe, and blueberry pancakes and sausage, serving from 8 a.m. to noon Oct. 2 in the basement at Our Savior National Catholic Church, 706 Ninth St., Mosinee. The day will include a bake sale and pierogi sale. Pierogi orders will be taken at the church office, 715-693-2241; $4.50 per dozen.
