Deacon Rick & Jenny Condon - NFP Outreach

“Our hope for this ministry is simply to share, with as many people as God sees fit to place in our path, the ‘good news’ that we have found with NFP … and in these difficult times, we want to support and encourage all of our brothers and sisters in Christ who are trying to lead holy lives." --Deacon Rick and Jenny Condon

She's a little bit Country and he's a little bit Rock and Roll. But that didn't keep Deacon Rick and Jenny Condon from getting together...primarily because there's at least one thing they share in common...a deep love for their Catholic Faith.

Rick was the product of 12 years of Catholic education. Jenny attended public school. Oddly enough, it was Rick who took the scenic route to the faith they enjoy today, not participating in the Church for nearly 20 years. Jenny never wavered in her commitment to her faith.

So while Jenny began to live her dream building a home with her husband and their 2 daughters, Rick travelled the Midwest playing in Rock bands and travelled the country with a sponsorship on the Professional Foosball Tour. As Rick settled into a career as a recording engineer, eventually becoming the Chief Engineer at a large facility, Jenny's life began first to unravel as her husband left her and her small children, and then to blossom as she found new strength to cope with the situation and devoted herself to a number of ministries.

While working in one of those ministries Jenny found herself at Rick's studio and just 6 weeks later they were engaged to be married.

When they took a Natural Family Planning class shortly after marrying, Rick began feeling the deep calling that would lead them to the diaconate. He directly attributes his "reversion" to the truths about the Catholic faith that he heard for the first time in those NPF classes.

Both Jenny and Deacon Rick are devoted to sharing the "Good News" about NFP and are committed to helping all married couples find the peace that comes with living in communion with Christ's Church.

Currently, Deacon Rick assists at St. Pius X Parish in Urbandale, Iowa. He has his own business...Rick Condon Productions...and teaches a course in music production at Drake University. Jenny achieved a Masters Degree in adult learning performance and development and is a partner in an entrepreneurial development firm. Jenny is vice president of the statewide organization Iowans for Life and is president and co-founder of Illumination Media Inc. a prolife marketing company that supports crisis pregnancy centers. Rick and Jenny just finished a run of 2 years as hosts of the popular morning drive time show, “Rise and Shine” on KWKY Catholic radio for the heart of Iowa.
