Dcn Don Allison + Marcus Cheffen talk 2025

Deacon Don Allison and his wife, Beth, reside in Baton Rouge, where they enjoy time with their three daughters and three grandsons. After more than 40 years as a CPA, business consultant, and governmental affairs professional, Don retired in 2019—but not before asking himself a deeper question: "What am I going to do after I retire?" In 2017, during a friend’s ordination to the priesthood, Don experienced what he describes as a “Holy Spirit knock on the head,” a moment of calling that would lead him on a new path. He answered that call and was ordained a Permanent Deacon in August 2023. Before his call to the diaconate, he was the victim of a robbery in 1996 during which he was shot. Don was able to learn to forgive, and he embodied that lesson when he befriended the man, Marcus Cheffen, who shot him.
