A Tribute on the Anniversary of Ordination to the Priesthood!
Today, we joyfully celebrate the anniversary of the ordination of Reverend Monsignor William (Bill) P. McGhee. Ordained a priest in the Diocese of Belleville by the Most Reverend John N. Wurm on June 5, 1982.
He has offered a life poured out in service, reflecting the love, humility, and steadfast faith of our Lord. This anniversary is more than a date on the calendar; it is a living testimony to God’s grace at work through one of His faithful servants.
Father Bill, you have not only proclaimed the Gospel with conviction but have also embodied it through the witness of your life. In your words, we encounter truth; in your actions, we behold charity; and in your perseverance, we recognize a faith that remains steadfast even amid trial.
Much of your ministry is carried out quietly and without recognition: the late-night visits to the sick, the faithful prayers offered for parishioners and those in surrounding communities, and the many hours devoted to preparing homilies that speak to the heart. Yet the fruits of this labor are plainly evident in the strength of our parish, the consolation of those who grieve, and the renewed hope of those seeking their way.
On behalf of St. Augustine of Canterbury Catholic Church, we offer our heartfelt congratulations, our deepest gratitude, and our continued prayers. May God bless you abundantly in the years ahead, and may your ministry continue to bear fruit that will last for eternity. With abiding gratitude and prayerful best wishes, we give thanks for your faithful witness and enduring service to the Church.

As the partner parish of St. Augustine of Canterbury Catholic Church, we share in this joyful celebration with deep affection and gratitude. Father York, your ministry has touched many lives, and even across the miles, we feel the strength of the faith, kindness, and devotion you bring to God’s people. We thank God for the bond we share in Christ, and we pray that He will continue to renew your spirit and bless the community you serve with such generous love.
Father York, on this special anniversary, please know how thankful we are for you and for your faithful vocation. May God bless you and keep you, strengthen you in the years ahead, and fill your heart with the same joy and peace you have shared with so many others. Congratulations, and be assured of our love, our gratitude, and our prayers.
