He has a passion for fostering a welcoming and inclusive community, and he is dedicated to the spiritual growth and well-being of all members of the congregation. Fr. Bill is known for his inspiring homilies and his commitment to social justice. Parishioners describe him as pastoral, funny, and kind.
