Perhaps it is because I have lived with myself for all these years that I find it so difficult to write a brief biography of introduction. I feel as though I have been blessed with a relatively mundane life so sharing “highlights” feels like a creative writing assignment. So for those of you old enough to remember Sgt. Joe Friday, I will attempt to offer, “Just the facts ma’am.”
My parents are Duane and Mary Ann Emanuel, and, as of this writing, by God’s grace, they are both still living in North Bend.
I have one sibling, a sister, who is older, wiser, and better looking than I am.
I was raised in North Bend, NE, and graduated from North Bend Central.
I received a degree in education from Concordia Teacher’s College in Seward, NE.
I graduated from the University of St. Mary of the Lake, Mundelein Seminary, and was ordained in 1993.
I was asked to share “hobbies” and “favorites”.
I have been told that I am a workaholic, which I can’t really refute, so I presume that means my hobbies would be various forms of work.
When people ask what my favorite food is, my normal response is “free”. The exceptions to the “free rule” would be: broccoli, cauliflower, Brussel sprouts, lima beans, sweet potatoes, squash, beets, asparagus, pears and rhubarb. While this is not an exhaustive list, it hopefully helps to set parameters. J
I look forward to my new assignment and the opportunity to be of service to this amazing family of faith.

Deacons
I’m Deacon Dennis Anderson and my ordination was on November 15, 2008. I was born in the fifties and have one adopted sister. I graduated from Oakland-Craig High School and then went to Northeast Community College in Norfolk, studying Building Construction. I moved to Humphrey in the Spring of 1978 to start a business with a partner—A&H Building and Supply.
I married Cecilia Wemhoff on September 15, 1979 at St. Francis Church in Humphrey. This is the same parish where I converted to the Catholic faith (I was baptized in the Methodist Church and confirmed in the Covenant Church). I am now a deacon in the Catholic Church because of God’s plan for me.
God has blessed us with three children—Jason, Alan, and April. They are all married (also at St. Francis). They have blessed us with eight grandchildren (so far). Alan and April live in Humphrey and they each have children attending St. Francis School.
