SEPA 2/26 H/M Flagline Deacon Hopkins, POW Korean War

Warriors' Watch has been asked to stand a flag line at the funeral of a Korean War Vet, POW, Combat Infantryman, Chaplain and Deacon of his Church.

Retired Permanent Deacon Stephen Hopkins (1982), died of natural causes on February 15, 2021, at the age of 89. He was among the first class of African-American deacons ordained in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. He was ordained at the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul by John Cardinal Krol on November 7, 1982.

Deacon Hopkins was assigned to Saint Benedict Parish, Philadelphia, where he remained until his retirement in 2010. The parish merged with Saint Athanasius in 2013, and Deacon Hopkins was active there until very recently. He was retired from AT&T, and also served in a combat role in the U.S. Army during the Korean Conflict, where he served time as a prisoner of war.

Deacon Hopkins was married to his wife Gloria for 65 years. They have four children, 14 grandchildren, 20 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild.
