The May collection is for Bridging, an organization that provides furniture and household goods to families leaving homelessness and entering stable housing. The main need currently is for towels-bath towels, hand towels, washcloths, beach towels, kitchen towels and dishcloths. New and gently used items are acceptable. Leave donations in the collection crib at church or bring them to the parish office.
THANK YOU for your generous support for those in need.

A Word from our Pastor
Prayer for Pope Francis
God, Who, in Thine ineffable providence, didst will that Thy servant Francis ... should be numbered among the high priests; grant, we beseech Thee, that he, who on earth held the place of Thine only-begotten Son, may be joined forevermore to the fellowship of Thy holy pontiffs. Through the same Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
Amen.
This weekend - May 3/4 there will be anointing of the sick/elderly after Mass.
Looking ahead, next weekend May 10/11 will be Deacon Ben Eichten's last weekend at St William before his ordination as a priest. We are grateful for the four years Ben has spent with us and we will miss him. Deacon Ben's ordination to priesthood is Saturday, May 31 at 10:00AM at the St Paul Cathedral. All are invited.
We are trying to arrange for Ben a first Mass at St William sometime, hopefully in June.

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.
