On May 17 St. Bede's celebrated the retirement of Bob Williams, Canon for Common Life, and gave thanks for his decades of faithful service to Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles. Bob has blessed this diocese in countless ways through his work as archivist, journalist, historian, colleague, and friend. His wisdom, storytelling, steady presence, and deep love for the Church have helped preserve our history while strengthening our community for generations. While we will miss him in his diocesan role, we are grateful that this is not truly goodbye. We’ll still be seeing Bob around campus as he continues his important work as President & CEO of Neighborhood Youth Association located on campus. Thank you, Bob, for all you have given to this diocese and to so many of us personally. May this next chapter be filled with joy, blessings, and continued inspiration.
