On the twentieth anniversary of the passing of Servant of God Fr. Bill Atkinson, O.S.A., EWTN premiered an episode of their popular series They Might Be Saints focused on Fr. Bill’s extraordinary life.

The series’ host, Michael O’Neill, examines the lives of men and women of faith on the path to sainthood and the search for canonization miracles. From miracle workers to martyrs and ordinary people living extraordinary lives of heroic virtue, the series presents those exemplary people who make us wonder if someday they might be saints.

Filmed in May 2025, the episode features interviews with Fr. Bill’s family, brother friars, and a recipient of Fr. Bill’s favor interspersed with reenactments of scenes from his life. It premiered at 9:00 AM, a prominent time following EWTN’s broadcast of morning Mass, and has been met with praise from the Augustinian community and beyond.
