National Award Winning Advocate

About Chris Hansen

When the Most Reverend John Smith, Bishop of Trenton, found out about Deacon Chris Hansen’s National Advocacy Award and his years of ministry to workers he began referring to Chris’ work as his Apostolate to Workers.

Chris’s pastor, Fr. Michael Vona, was so enthused about the work Chris has done in the public sector on behalf of the self-employed that he insisted Chris continue and expand that work as a ministry at St. Catherine of Siena parish in
Farmingdale, NJ.
