LA cancer doctor explains why he’s becoming a permanent deacon
Dr. David Freyer has already found tremendous fulfillment since joining Children’s Hospital Los Angeles in 2008 as a pediatric oncologist, serving as the director of its Survivorship and Supportive Care Program, as well as work with patients at the USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center.
But his on-call status is about to widen.
Freyer is one of 18 candidates who have completed formation and will be ordained permanent deacons for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles on Saturday, June 7.
