It was just a tiny thing. It could have been easily missed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parsons\nwanted to serve. She had been praying for God to lead her to where he needed\nher. There was not much room for women to serve in the Roman Catholic Church,\nshe recalls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The request for volunteers intrigued her. Parsons attended a meeting with 35 others lead by Reverend Rick Hartmann, chaplain in the Port of Detroit. He offered laypeople the opportunity to volunteer in the port ministry. Parsons was all in. She attended six weeks of training, culminating with a trip to the docks for some practical experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was terrified of heights and water,\u201d she said. \u201cWhen we were directed to walk the steep gangway to board the ship, I turned around, but the chaplain didn\u2019t allow that and walked me back to the gangway. I started praying and walking up the steps. Once onboard, I met my first Filipino seafarer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was hooked,\u201d said Parsons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still\nbusy with a young family she continued to volunteer in the Detroit port for two\nyears. In time, the priest in charge wanted to hand off the leadership of the\nministry confidently so he selected Parsons, his devoted volunteer to join him\nas an assistant chaplain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parsons was on a new track. She completed the Chaplaincy Training in Port Ministry program and became certified in Port Ministry and Seafarers Rights through the Seamen\u2019s Church Institute. She served the center on the Great Lakes for more than seven years when her service was noticed by Fr Rivers Patout, a well-recognized leader in the ministry to seafarers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Patout brought Parsons to the Galveston Seafarers\u2019 Center located along the southern coast of Texas. Parsons says he offered her the leadership of the center: It\u2019s yours if you want it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A\nmove would be a major adjustment for the entire family. Parsons was close to\nher family in Michigan where the ministry was seasonal. Galveston was\nyear-round. Her three kids were then ages 8, 10, and 12. When she accepted,\neverything changed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was a rough time. School was difficult for our kids. The words used were different. The culture was not the same. Birthdays and holiday celebrations previously shared with family were no longer the same,\u201d said Parsons. \u201cWe had to adjust to that.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So\nthey did. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\ninvited seafarers to our house. They became our family,\u201d the chaplain said. \u201cAs\nwe would write home and tell our stories to our extended family, they became\nmore aware of our ministry and became more involved in it.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However,\nthe greatest challenge Parsons faced in Galveston was a gender issue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI constantly had to prove myself as a female. Everyone was male and the board was unprepared for a female chaplain. I was a lay person with children, and Catholic. They didn\u2019t want to deal with a woman with a family.&nbsp; I had to prove that I wasn\u2019t just some schmuck coming off the street,\u201d she said. \u201cI made sure that no one would say I wasn\u2019t professional.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She dug in and worked hard. Parsons became a valuable member of the Galveston Ministerial Alliance for 29 years. As a chaplain, she attended seminars, conferences and training opportunities until she began to train others. By 1990 she was teaching at the Houston Maritime Ministry Training School. Parsons conducted seminars on ministry among seafarers in South Africa, Australia, Brazil and the Philippines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parsons earned a Master\u2019s Level Certification in Spiritual Direction from the training institute in Houston and was the first Catholic layperson to be appointed as a chaplain. Furthermore, she is one of the first two women appointed by the Vatican to serve as regional coordinator for the Apostleship of the Sea (now known as Stella Maris), overseeing chaplains in North America and the Caribbean. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout\nthis time, her commitment to her family and the personal care of seafarers did\nnot wane. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She\nhumbly notes that when she boarded ships she had a keen sense of which person\non board needed her the most. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe\nHoly Spirit led me to the loneliest or the person with the greatest need and\nshowed me how I could be present to them while they were in our port,\u201d she said.\n\u201cI spent time writing letters of encouragement. Before their ship would leave I\ngave them letters, predated for each day while at sea until they reached their\nnext port.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parsons\nhas over 20,000 letters from seafarers in her files, not to mention those in\narchives. Among her other duties she developed a correspondence ministry for 35\nyears with letters and stamps and electronic means. Many began to treat to her\nas a mother or a sister. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s\nnot about me,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s about God and the message.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parsons\nwas honored at the 2020 North American Maritime Ministry Association Annual\nGeneral Meeting in June with a Distinguished Service Award for 35 years in\nseafaring ministry and for giving significant support to seafarers and the\nNAMMA network. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When\nasked for any wisdom she could share with those in or entering chaplaincy among\nseafarers she responded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis\nministry is not about us. It\u2019s all about what God can do through us and through\nthe seafarers. We are greeting Christ in the seafarers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\nfind it most gratifying that in some way, even if I smiled under my mask, and\nthey only saw my eyes, if that is the only thing that made them feel visible\nand loved it was worth it,\u201d said the newly retired chaplain. \u201cIt has been an\nabsolute joy to be part of their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her\nnext big step is to sell her home and return to Michigan and her family. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>God bless her journey from here on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Image: <\/strong>Karen Parsons ship visiting in her last week of work, Dec. 29, 2020.
