A Word from our Pastor
This weekend, June 10 & 11, we welcome Father Anthony Boothali who is a missionary priest for PEACE (Pastoral Evangelization and Children Education) which provides education for children in southern India. There will be a second collection after communion for this mission. If you are not prepared this weekend to contribute you may still drop off your contribution to the parish office during the week or in the collection next weekend indicating the donation is for the India mission.

THE HISTORY OF OUR CHURCH
The Church of St William was started in 1963 by Archbishop Leo Binz who named the parish after his predecessor, Archbishop William Brady. St William was born in 1085 in Vercelli, Italy. William was a hermit who led a life of solitude, prayer, penance and sharing of faith by founding several religious communities in Italy. It is said that St. William performed a miracle by restoring the sight to a blind man. St. William died in 1142. His feast day is observed on June 25.
