THIS WEEK
After a beautiful summer a beautiful Fall is great. Only God could have thought of these seasons.
This week the feature is Be a Franciscan...Fall issue. It gives you an idea of what the Franciscan movement is all about.
The video of the Vienna Boys Choir is uplifting as is Bishop Murphy's statement on taxes....
I am going to Wheeling West Virginia on Sat.to give a parish retreat...say some prayers...
About Me
- fr.Bill,ofm
- It really is about time I got to do this profile. Because of the nature of the animal there are going to be a lot of "I" please excuse. I was born in NYC many years ago. I entered the Franciscan Order, Holy Name Province, in July 1960.ordained a Franciscan Priest in 1966. Shortly after Ordination I was sent to Japan where I spent the next glorious 28 years working as missionary. In 1994 I went to India to work with lepers, Unfortunately, I got sick and had to cut my stay short.The next stop was the Holy Land. Two more very happy years. Finally, after 30 years out of the country I returned to the States. My first posting was to a Chapel in a shopping mall outside of Albany NY. In my spare time I worked with the fillipino Community in Albany and also with the collegiates at Siena College. In 2002 I was transferred to St.Francis Inn, a soup kitchen run by the Franciscans of the NY Province.
